I think the SN has been cleared here before test the bitmap.
The SN will be set when the vCPU is schedule out. ID: 28b835d60fcc2498e717cf5e6f0c3691c24546f7
But SN will be cleared when sched in.
Another place is when vCPU run out of the vcpu_run() function:
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run()
vcpu_load(vcpu); -> kvm_arch_vcpu_load -> vmx_vcpu_load -> vmx_vcpu_pi_load -> new.sn = 0;
vcpu_run(vcpu);
for(;;)
vcpu_put(vcpu); -> kvm_arch_vcpu_put -> vmx_vcpu_put -> vmx_vcpu_pi_put -> pi_set_sn()
But SN will be cleared in vcpu_load() before back to vcpu_run()
