From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx> hardware_enable/disable_nolock() check if the hardware is already enabled/disabled and work as nop when they are called multiple times. Also kvm_usage_count tracks the number of the existing VMs. When VM is created/destroyed by kvm_create/destroy_vm(), hardware_enable/disable_all() and module_get/put() are called. It means when kvm module is removed, it's guaranteed that there is no vm (kvm_usage_count = 0) and that hardware_disable_nolock() was called on each cpus. Although the module exit function, kvm_exit(), calls on_each_cpu(hardware_disable_nolock), it's essentially nop. Eliminate nop call in kvm_exit() and add WARN_ON(kvm_usage_count) to prove that there is no remaining VMs. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx> --- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c index 1376a47fedee..a8c4e62b29ca 100644 --- a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c +++ b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c @@ -5945,6 +5945,8 @@ void kvm_exit(void) { int cpu; + WARN_ON(kvm_usage_count); + debugfs_remove_recursive(kvm_debugfs_dir); misc_deregister(&kvm_dev); for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) @@ -5954,7 +5956,6 @@ void kvm_exit(void) unregister_syscore_ops(&kvm_syscore_ops); unregister_reboot_notifier(&kvm_reboot_notifier); cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING); - on_each_cpu(hardware_disable_nolock, NULL, 1); kvm_arch_hardware_unsetup(); kvm_arch_exit(); kvm_irqfd_exit(); -- 2.25.1
