The patch titled KVM: VMX: add vcpu_clear() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kvm-vmx-add-vcpu_clear.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: KVM: VMX: add vcpu_clear() From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Like the inline code it replaces, this function decaches the vmcs from the cpu it last executed on. in addition: - vcpu_clear() works if the last cpu is also the cpu we're running on - it is faster on larger smps by virtue of using smp_call_function_single() Includes fix from Ingo Molnar.
