[PATCH 2/4 V8] Add functions to check if the host has stopped the vm

When a host stops or suspends a VM it will set a flag to show this. The watchdog will use these functions to determine if a softlockup is real, or the result of a suspended VM. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson asm-generic changes Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: mi...@redhat.com Cc: h...@zytor.com Cc

[PATCH 1/4 V8] Add flag to indicate that a vm was stopped by the host

This flag will be used to check if the vm was stopped by the host when a soft lockup was detected. The host will set the flag when it stops the guest. On resume, the guest will check this flag if a soft lockup is detected and skip issuing the warning. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson Cc: mi

[PATCH 4/4 V8] Add check for suspended vm in softlockup detector

A suspended VM can cause spurious soft lockup warnings. To avoid these, the watchdog now checks if the kernel knows it was stopped by the host and skips the warning if so. When the watchdog is reset successfully, clear the guest paused flag. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson Cc: mi...@redhat.com Cc
