kvm_timer_should_fire() can be called in two different situations from the kvm_vcpu_block(). The first case is before calling kvm_timer_schedule(), used for wait polling, and in this case the VCPU thread is running and the timer state is loaded onto the hardware so all we have to do is check if the virtual interrupt lines are asserted, becasue the timer interrupt handler functions will raise those lines as appropriate. The second case is inside the wait loop of kvm_vcpu_block(), where we have already called kvm_timer_schedule() and therefore the hardware will be disabled and the software view of the timer state is up to date (timer->loaded is false), and so we can simply check if the timer should fire by looking at the software state.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
