Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] memory: abort if a memory region is destroyed during a transaction
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:17:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1350487065-32022-3-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1350487065-32022-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>
Destroying a memory region is illegal within a transaction, as until
the transaction is committed, the memory core may hold references to
the region. Add an assert to check for violations of this rule.
