[PATCH 3/4 V13] Add ioctl for KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL

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

 



Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.

Changes from V12:
 Rename KVM_CAP and KVM ioctl
Changes from V11:
 Correct typo in api.txt
 Add kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu) call to kvm_set_guest_paused()
Changes from V10:
 Return the ioctl to per vcpu instead of per vm
Changes from V9:
 Use kvm_for_each_vcpu to iterate online vcpu's
Changes from V8:
 Make KVM_GUEST_PAUSED a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu
Changes from V7:
 Define KVM_CAP_GUEST_PAUSED and support check
 Call mark_page_dirty () after setting PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
Changes from V4:
 Rename KVM_GUEST_PAUSED to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
 Add new ioctl description to api.txt
