Subject: [PATCH v7 11/11] Documentation: virtual: kvm: Support vcpu preempted check
Date: Wed,  2 Nov 2016 05:08:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478077718-37424-12-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1478077718-37424-1-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit ("x86, kvm: support vcpu preempted check") add one field "__u8
preempted" into struct kvm_steal_time. This field tells if one vcpu is
running or not.

It is zero if 1) some old KVM deos not support this filed. 2) the vcpu
is not preempted. Other values means the vcpu has been preempted.
