hi, "make install" does not install the modules in the right directory (actually it is not making the 'extra' directory). I changed KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build to KERNELDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build in the kernel/Makefile and it is working now

[kvm-devel] multiple allocation for vmcs or am i missing something.

2007-02-08 Thread Manish Regmi
When kvm initializes, it calls hardware_setup which calls alloc_kvm_area which allocates vmcs for each online processor and stores the pointer in percpu basis. Later when vmx_create_vcpu is called, the vmcs area is allocated (again) and this time for the cpu the code is currently executing on. pos

I decided to forgo a sync release with 2.6.20 as kvm-12 was already close enough. Changes from kvm-12: - add dirty page tracking in some corner cases for live migration - fix lockups on nx-challenged hosts - host suspend/resume - nobody's testing this, so it's probably broken - host cpu hotplu
