[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Defer "already loaded" check until after basic support checks

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

 



Move KVM's check for a vendor module already being loaded below the basic
functionality checks so that attempting to load an unsupported module
provides the same result regardless of whether or not a supported vendor
module is already loaded.

Intentionally keep the err non-ratelimited; if userspace is probing two
different modules for the same vendor on all CPUs, it deserves the spam.
