[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/8] Fix cpu_exit for tcp_cpu_exec

[Jan Kiszka]

If a cpu_exit request is pending, ensure that we leave the CPU loop
quickly. For this purpose, keep the global exit_request pending until
we are about to leave tcg_cpu_exec. Also, immediately break out of the
SMP loop if the request is set, do not run till the end of the chain.
This preserves the VCPU scheduling order in SMP mode.
