If the SynIC timer message delivery fails due to SINT message slot being busy, there's no point to attempt starting the timer again until we're notified of the slot being released by the guest (via EOM or EOI). Even worse, when a oneshot timer fails to deliver its message, its re-arming with an expiration time in the past leads to immediate retry of the delivery, and so on, without ever letting the guest vcpu to run and release the slot, which results in a livelock. To avoid that, only start the timer when there's no timer message pending delivery. When there is, meaning the slot is busy, the processing will be restarted upon notification from the guest that the slot is released.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
