waitqueue_active(&vcpu->wq) means that the VCPU is sleeping in the kernel (i.e. in a halted state). vcpu->mode == IN_GUEST_MODE means that the VCPU is running. Anything else means that the host is running some kind of "glue" code (either kernel or userspace). > Besides, if vcpu1 is running on pcpu1, and a kernel thread running on > pcpu0. Can the kernel thread send a message to force vcpu1 trap to > VMM? How can I do this? Yes, with kvm_vcpu_kick. KVM tracks internally which pcpu will run the vcpu in vcpu->cpu, and kvm_vcpu_kick sends either a wakeup (if the vcpu is sleeping) or an IPI (if it is running).
