Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] xen: add update indicator to vcpu_runstate_info
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:34:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465990479-20657-3-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1465990479-20657-1-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com>
In order to support reading another vcpu's mapped vcpu_runstate_info
an indicator for an occurring update of the runstate information is
needed.
Add the possibility to activate setting this indicator in the highest
bit of state_entry_time via a vm_assist hypercall. When activated the
update indicator will be set before the runstate information is
modified in guest memory and it will be reset after modification is
done. As state_entry_time is guaranteed to be different after each
update the guest can detect any update (either in progress or while
reading the runstate data) by comparing state_entry_time before and
after reading runstate data: in case the values differ or the update
indicator was set the data might be inconsistent and should be reread.

V2: smp_wmb() instead of wmb() as requested by Andrew Cooper
use sizeof() as requested by Jan Beulich
eliminate new variable update_flag as requested by Jan Beulich
