Subject: [PATCH 09/11] KVM: Move kvm_guest_exit() after local_irq_enable()
Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 13:08:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11929648921683-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1192964892617-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>

From: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net>

We need to make sure that the timer interrupt happens before we clear
PF_VCPU, so the accounting code actually sees guest mode.
