Yes. Guest may use the loop to read RTC, but the point is the guest is waiting for the UIP changed to 0. If this bit always equal to 0 , guest will never go into the loop. For real RTC, this may wrong, because the RTC cannot give you the valid value during the update cycle. But the virtual RTC doesn't' need this logic, whenever you read it, it will always return the right value to you. best regards yang -- 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
