That would require remembering the old value, no? That would work with a previous interface proposal, see: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466937715-6683-2-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the vcpu_get_yield_count() thing would match that I think. However the current proposal: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467124991-13164-2-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx dropped that in favour of only vcpu_is_preempted(), which requires being able to tell if a (remote) vcpu is currently running or not, which iirc, isn't possible with the steal time sequence count. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
