Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 8/9] kvm, vmx: Add atomic synchronization with CPU Hotplug
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:35:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121211140528.23621.52490.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121211140314.23621.64088.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com>
preempt_disable() will no longer help prevent CPUs from going offline, once
stop_machine() gets removed from the CPU offline path. So use
get/put_online_cpus_atomic() in vmx_vcpu_load() to prevent CPUs from
going offline while clearing vmcs.
