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

 



3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 378a8b099fc207ddcb91b19a8c1457667e0af398 upstream.

If VMX reports segment as unusable, zero descriptor passed by the emulator
before returning. Such descriptor will be considered not present by the
emulator.
