Say if we add, now let us > figure out where to uninit what is done in this function: Sigh, I didn't realize this came from generic code. What, from generic code's perspective, is the difference between kvm_arch_vcpu_init() and kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() supposed to be? They're synonyms! And as always in Linux, there's no documentation (that I can find) on what's expected of functions that have multiple implementations. Inferring from what the ppc code does, apparently kvm_arch_vcpu_create() is supposed to call kvm_vcpu_init(), which then calls back into arch code with kvm_arch_vcpu_init(). Then, after the preempt notifier is initialized (but not actually activated), generic code goes back to arch code with kvm_arch_vcpu_setup(). So basically the "setup" version comes later. And PPC KVM arbitrarily decides to use one of these for PPC-wide init, and the other for subarch init. This could really use some untangling (or documentation if there really is a method to the madness). In any case, we can still put this init code in kvmppc_arch_vcpu_setup() (i.e. the subarch init), and add a kvmppc_subarch_vcpu_uninit() that we call from kvm_arch_vcpu_uninit(). Or just move kvm_arch_vcpu_uninit() into subarch code -- the only thing it does is call kvmppc_mmu_destroy, which is a subarch hook anyway. -Scott -- 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
