From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:33:48 +0000 (-0300) Subject: KVM: LAPIC: cap __delay at lapic_timer_advance_ns X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b606f189c7d5bf9b875bba168162fe05287880fe;p=linux-beck.git KVM: LAPIC: cap __delay at lapic_timer_advance_ns The host timer which emulates the guest LAPIC TSC deadline timer has its expiration diminished by lapic_timer_advance_ns nanoseconds. Therefore if, at wait_lapic_expire, a difference larger than lapic_timer_advance_ns is encountered, delay at most lapic_timer_advance_ns. This fixes a problem where the guest can cause the host to delay for large amounts of time.
