Hi Sean,

Is this just because kernel_fpu_begin() is called during softirq? I saw the dump trace in 3/4 message, but didn't find out clue.

Could I ask where kernel_fpu_begin() is called? Or is this just a "possible" thing?

Because I just want to make sure that, kvm can use this flag to cover all preempt/softirq/(other?) cases?

Thanks,

Jing
