Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: VMX: Return 0 from a failed VMREAD
Date: Thu,  2 Dec 2010 18:00:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291305602-29678-3-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1291305602-29678-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>

If we execute VMREAD during reboot we'll just skip over it.  Instead of
returning garbage, return 0, which has a much smaller chance of confusing
the code.  Otherwise we risk a flood of debug printk()s which block the
reboot process if a serial console or netconsole is enabled.
