[ANNOUNCE] kvm-kmod-2.6.32.7

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

 



Yet another stable update for kvm-kmod-2.6.32. This one comes with a
bunch of smaller KVM fixes. They are mostly targeting rare corner cases
or making the kernel interface more robust against mad user space. But
one also fixing a small memory leak per created VCPU.

On the kvm-kmod framework side, we have some some improvements for
packagers (as I had to go through this pain myself) and we now deliver
kvm_para.h, so far only interesting for bleeding-edge qemu (qemu-kvm
still comes with its own copies). Longer changelog below.

KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.32.4:
 - only clear irq_source_id if irqchip is present
 - fix lock imbalance in kvm_*_irq_source_id()
 - x86: Fix leak of free lapic date in kvm_arch_vcpu_init()
 - x86: Fix probable memory leak of vcpu->arch.mce_banks
 - x86: Fix host_mapping_level()
 - MMU: bail out pagewalk on kvm_read_guest error
 - Fix race between APIC TMR and IRR
 - only allow one gsi per fd

kvm-kmod changes:
 - provide kvm_para.h headers
 - Report missing configure run more elegantly
 - Do not rename old kernel modules during installation, rely on depmod
   preferring update directory
 - Use standard modules_install
 - small cleanups
