The following patchset makes kvm more robust wrt cpu hotunplug, and makes suspend-to-ram actually work. Suspend-to-disk benefits from the cpu hotunplug improvements as well. The major issue is that KVM wants to disable the virtualization extensions at a point in time when no user processes are schedulable on the victim cpu. No current notifier exists, so a new one, CPU_DYING, is added for the purpose. Should there be no objections, I will submit this patchset for inclusion in 2.6.22, and backport it to 2.6.21.stable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
