Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Drop user return notifier when disabling virtualization on a cpu
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:18:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259410727-17246-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
This way, we don't leave a dangling notifier on cpu hotunplug or module
unload. In particular, module unload leaves the notifier pointing into
freed memory.
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
