Keep the vsie stuff isolated. Please note Yes makes sense. Radim, if you go with this patch something like this can be used as the s390 variant of kvm_arch_cpu_kick: ---snip--- /* * The stop indication is reset in the interrupt code. As the CPU * loop handles requests after interrupts, we will * a: miss the request handler and enter the guest, but then the * stop request will exit the CPU and handle the request in the next * round or * b: handle the request directly before entering the guest */ atomic_or(CPUSTAT_STOP_INT, &vcpu->arch.sie_block->cpuflags); kvm_s390_vsie_kick(vcpu); ---snip--- feel free to add that to your patch. I can also send a fixup patch later on if you prefer that. Christian
