[PATCH] release kvmclock page on reset

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

 



Up to know, we were relying on guest cooperation to turn off kvmclock.
I just realized that even though this is fine and nice, a more robust
method is to (also) turn it off on vcpu_reset on the hypervisor side.
This will protect us against reboots, and we don't expect the guest
to reset its cpu during normal operation anyway.
