[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/3] qemu-timer: do not take the lock in timer_pending

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

From: Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden>

We can deduce the result from expire_time, by making it always -1 if
the timer is not in the active_timers list.  We need to check against
negative times passed to timer_mod_ns; clamping them to zero is not
a problem because the only clock that has a zero value at VM startup
is QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL, and it is monotonic so it cannot be non-zero.
QEMU_CLOCK_HOST, instead, is not monotonic but it cannot go to negative
values unless the host time is seriously screwed up and points to
the 1960s.
