[PATCH 1/1] KVM: s390: mark irq_state.flags as non-usable

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

 



Old kernels did not check for zero in the irq_state.flags field and old
QEMUs did not zero the flag field when calling KVM_S390_*_IRQ_STATE.
Let's add a comment and dummy code to prevent future usage of flags
and pad.
