else, we get memory corruption on reboot; found when tracking down initramfs unpack error on initial reboot (with qemu-kvm -smp 2, no problem with single-core). problem with doing it via kvm_shutdown() is that this file depends on CONFIG_KVM_CLOCK, also its not enough to call it for one cpu only.

In any case, this seems to fix the initramfs corruption for me. patch is against virt/kvm/kvm.git. arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c | 1 - 2 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c b/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c index c1d61ee..1596cc8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c @@ -354,6 +354,7 @@ static void kvm_pv_guest_cpu_reboot(void *unused) if (kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_PV_EOI)) wrmsrl(MSR_KVM_PV_EOI_EN, 0); kvm_pv_disable_apf(); + kvm_disable_steal_time(); } static int kvm_pv_reboot_notify(struct notifier_block *nb, diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c b/arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c index f1b42b3..5a2fa7d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c @@ -191,7 +191,6 @@ static void kvm_crash_shutdown(struct pt_regs *regs) static void kvm_shutdown(void) { native_write_msr(msr_kvm_system_time, 0, 0); - kvm_disable_steal_time(); native_machine_shutdown(); } -- 1.7.8.6 -- 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
