From 3dd3e0ce7989b645eee0174b17f5095e187c7f28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Xinhui Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2016 05:08:38 -0400 Subject: Documentation/virtual/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Commit ("x86/kvm: support vCPU preemption check") added a new struct kvm_steal_time::preempted field. This field tells us if a vCPU is running or not. It is zero if some old KVM does not support this field or if the vCPU is not preempted. Other values means the vCPU has been preempted.
