And it is because vmcsinfo processing is at the initialization of kvm_intel module, no kvm guests are running, so it will not rob any VMX resources. If it is done by a separate module, I am afraid this module may not be loaded when the kernel needs VMCSINFO. >> + >> + kvm_cpu_vmxon(__pa(per_cpu(vmxarea, raw_smp_processor_id()))); >> + vmcs_load(vmcs); > > Should do this after writing into the vmcs directly (vmcs_load() may > cache some information for vmcs_read()). > Hmm, thanks for pointing this. -- 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
