Re: [PATCH kvm-next 1/2] kvm: make local functions static

Hi,
I hope you have a good day! I have a question regarding Guest TLB flush IPIs.
<quote>
If the hardware does not support APIC virtualization: kvm_vcpu_kick sends an
host-IPI to the remote vcpu if that vcpu is in guest mode, a VM-exit
(exit reason: external interrupt) will be triggered due to the host-IPI.
Then on VM-entry (inject_pending_event) the guest-IPI is injected.
</quote>
 If that IPI is a TLB flush IPI, what will happen if the remote vcpu
access the stale tlb entry before
the host-IPI arrives? I really appreciate it if someone could shed
some lights on this problem.

Thanks for your time!

Best Wishes,
Yaohui Hu
