[PATCH v2 14/43] KVM: Split out a kvm_vcpu_block() helper from kvm_vcpu_halt()

Sean Christopherson seanjc at google.com
Fri Oct 8 19:12:07 PDT 2021


Factor out the "block" part of kvm_vcpu_halt() so that x86 can emulate
non-halt wait/sleep/block conditions that should not be subjected to
halt-polling.

No functional change intended.
