Interrupt injection needs to be done atomically, but currently we check the tpr from the injecting thread, which means the cpu thread can race with it. We need to move the check to the vcpu thread so that the guest vcpu is halted. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- 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
