[PATCH 1/5] vmxcap: Open MSR file in unbuffered mode

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

 



From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Python may otherwise decide to to read larger chunks, applying the seek
only on the software buffer. This will return results from the wrong
MSRs.
