Something like kvm_steal_time_set_preempted(vcpu);While at it: 1) the kvm_read_guest_cached is not necessary. You can rig the call to kvm_write_guest_cached so that it only writes vcpu->arch.st.steal.preempted.I agree. kvm_write_guest_cached() always writes from offset 0, so we'd want a new function that allows to specify a starting offset.Yeah, let's leave it for a follow-up then!
I think I can make a having-offset version. :)
Thanks, Paoloquoted
Using cached vcpu->arch.st.steal to avoid the read wouldn't be as good.
