Ah but there is CT_STATE_GUEST and I see the last patch also applies that to
CT_STATE_IDLE.
So that could be:
bool ct_set_cpu_work(unsigned int cpu, unsigned int work)
{
struct context_tracking *ct = per_cpu_ptr(&context_tracking, cpu);
unsigned int old;
bool ret = false;
preempt_disable();
old = atomic_read(&ct->state);
/* CT_STATE_IDLE can be added to last patch here */
if (!(old & (CT_STATE_USER | CT_STATE_GUEST))) {
old &= ~CT_STATE_MASK;
old |= CT_STATE_USER;
}
/*
* Try setting the work until either
* - the target CPU has exited userspace / guest
* - the work has been set
*/
do {
ret = atomic_try_cmpxchg(&ct->state, &old, old | (work << CT_WORK_START));
} while (!ret && old & (CT_STATE_USER | CT_STATE_GUEST));
preempt_enable();
return ret;
}
Thanks.
