Subject: [PATCH 3/4 V11] Add ioctl for KVMCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:35:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1328024132-7687-4-git-send-email-emunson@mgebm.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1328024132-7687-1-git-send-email-emunson@mgebm.net>
Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.

Changes from V10:
Return the ioctl to per vcpu instead of per vm
Changes from V9:
Use kvm_for_each_vcpu to iterate online vcpu's
Changes from V8:
Make KVM_GUEST_PAUSED a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu
Changes from V7:
Define KVM_CAP_GUEST_PAUSED and support check
Call mark_page_dirty () after setting PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
Changes from V4:
Rename KVM_GUEST_PAUSED to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
Add new ioctl description to api.txt
