local_irq_disable when Guest is executing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I see that in the kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() function before the guest starts executing there is a local_irq_disable() and local_irq_enable() after the guest returns.

What is the motivation for this? Why are we disabling interrupts while the guest is running?  

Thanks
Senthil
