Subject: [PATCH 11/11] x86: disable VMX on all CPUs on reboot
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:43:51 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1226598231-18311-12-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1226598231-18311-1-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com>

On emergency_restart, we may need to use an NMI to disable virtualization
on all CPUs. We do that using nmi_shootdown_cpus() if VMX is enabled.

Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't
trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the
NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly.

The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument
to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if
native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.
