[PATCH 2/2] kvm: exit to userspace with reason KVM_EXIT_VCPU_DEAD

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

 



From: Liu Ping Fan <pingfank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The vcpu can be safely released when
--1.guest tells us that the vcpu is not needed any longer.
--2.vcpu hits the last instruction _halt_

If both of the conditions are satisfied, kvm exits to userspace
with the reason vcpu dead. So the user thread can exit safely.
