[PATCH v13 3/7] KVM: x86: flush TLBs last before returning from KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the next patches, we will move parts of x86's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log
implementation to generic code; leave the arch-specific code at the end,
similar to the existing generic function kvm_get_dirty_log.
