[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 29/47] xen/sched: introduce unit_runnable_state()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Today the vcpu runstate of a new scheduled vcpu is always set to
"running" even if at that time vcpu_runnable() is already returning
false due to a race (e.g. with pausing the vcpu).

With core scheduling this can no longer work as not all vcpus of a
schedule unit have to be "running" when being scheduled. So the vcpu's
new runstate has to be selected at the same time as the runnability of
the related schedule unit is probed.

For this purpose introduce a new helper unit_runnable_state() which
will save the new runstate of all tested vcpus in a new field of the
vcpu struct.

RFC V2:
- new patch
V3:
- add vcpu loop to unit_runnable_state() right now instead of doing
  so in next patch (Jan Beulich, Dario Faggioli)
- make new_state unsigned int (Jan Beulich)
