[PATCH 1/2] KVM: lapic: fix preemption timer backward when TSC backward

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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

TSC_OFFSET will be adjusted if discovers TSC backward during vCPU load. 
The preemption timer which will leverage guest tsc to reprogram its 
preemption timer value is also reprogrammed if vCPU is scheded in to 
a different pCPU. However, current implementation reprogram preemption 
timer before TSC_OFFSET is adjusted to the right value, this will result 
in preemption timer also backward and fire prematurity.

This patch fix it by adjusting TSC_OFFSET before reprogramming preemption 
timer if TSC backward.
