Subject: KVM: only abort guest entry if timer count goes from 0->1
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:52:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080611225238.GB23771@dmt.cnet> (raw)
Only abort guest entry if the timer count went from 0->1, since for 1->2
or larger the bit will either be set already or a timer irq will have
been injected.
Using atomic_inc_and_test() for it also introduces an SMP barrier
to the LAPIC version (thought it was unecessary because of timer
migration, but guest can be scheduled to a different pCPU between exit
and kvm_vcpu_block(), so there is the possibility for a race).
Noticed by Avi.
