Is it always OK to erase the notification, even in case an unrelated
event such as interrupt was the source of wakeup?
Erasing notification is not good, But I think in this case,
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_UNHALT, vcpu);
below this would take care of the rest.
It would be easier to verify that notifications are not lost with atomic
test_and_clear(pv_unhalted).
true, I 'll verify that (with pv_unhalt as atomic variable). my heart
says current code is just fine, since we are about to unblock.
Also x86 specific code should remain in arch/x86/kvm/
I agree. 'll have clear function in arch/x86/kvm and add stub to rest
of the archs
