But I don't get it, there is no generic code needed, all that's needed is u64 steal_time_clock(int cpu), and the first part of your kvm_account_steal_time() function is exactly that if you add the cpu argument. +static u64 steal_time_clock(int cpu) +{ + u64 steal_time; + struct kvm_steal_time *src; + int version; + + preempt_disable(); + src = &per_cpu_ptr(steal_time, cpu); + do { + version = src->version; + rmb(); + steal_time = src->steal; + rmb(); + } while ((src->version & 1) || (version != src->version)); + preempt_enable(); + + return steal_time +} And you're done.. no need to for any of that steal_time_{read,write} business. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
