[PATCH 2/9] KVM: Introduce kvm_get_kvm_safe()

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

 



Introduce this safe version of kvm_get_kvm() so that it can be called even
during vm destruction.  Use it in kvm_debugfs_open() and remove the verbose
comment.  Prepare to be used elsewhere.
