The VCPU isn't expected to be runnable when the dirty ring becomes soft
full, until the dirty pages are harvested and the dirty ring is reset
from userspace. So there is a check in each guest's entrace to see if
the dirty ring is soft full or not. The VCPU is stopped from running if
its dirty ring has been soft full. The similar check will be needed when
the feature is going to be supported on ARM64. As Marc Zyngier suggested,
a new event will avoid pointless overhead to check the size of the dirty
ring ('vcpu->kvm->dirty_ring_size') in each guest's entrance.
Add KVM_REQ_DIRTY_RING_SOFT_FULL. The event is raised when the dirty ring
becomes soft full in kvm_dirty_ring_push(). The event is only cleared in
the check, done in the newly added helper kvm_dirty_ring_check_request().
Since the VCPU is not runnable when the dirty ring becomes soft full, the
KVM_REQ_DIRTY_RING_SOFT_FULL event is always set to prevent the VCPU from
running until the dirty pages are harvested and the dirty ring is reset by
userspace.
kvm_dirty_ring_soft_full() becomes a private function with the newly added
helper kvm_dirty_ring_check_request(). The alignment for the various event
definitions in kvm_host.h is changed to tab character by the way. In order
to avoid using 'container_of()', the argument @ring is replaced by @vcpu
in kvm_dirty_ring_push().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
