Subject: [patch 1/2] libkvm: add kvm_has_sync_mmu
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:03:34 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080822230510.119883556@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080822230333.323535558@localhost.localdomain

From: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
This patch adds a kvm_has_sync_mmu routine to libkvm. This allows
userspace to query the existence of mmu notifiers which is important for
ballooning since madvise() is not safe from userspace without it.
