Oops, it's even worse than I said, because if the new vmclear_local_vmcss clears the vmcs currently used on some vcpu, it will update vmcs.cpu on that vcpu to -1, but will *not* update vmx.vcpu.cpu, which remain its old value, and potentially cause problems when it is used (e.g., in x86.c) instead of vmx.vmcs.cpu. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, May 18 2011, 14 Iyyar 5771 nyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |An egotist is a person of low taste, more http://nadav.harel.org.il |interested in himself than in me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
