[PATCH 07/58] KVM: Be more careful restoring fs on lightweight vmexit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i386 wants fs for accessing the pda even on a lightweight exit, so ensure
we can always restore it.  This fixes a regression on i386 introduced by
the lightweight vmexit patch.
