[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: SVM: Notify if SVM is already in use

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

 



Currently we silently fail if SVM is already in use by a different
virtualization technology.

This is bad since it's non-obvious for the user, and its not too uncommon
for users to have several of these installed on same host.

This patch adds a message to notify the user of the problem.
