[PATCH v8 2/2] KVM-INTEL: add a notifier and a bitmap to support VMCLEAR in kdump

Zhang Yanfei zhangyanfei at cn.fujitsu.com
Thu Nov 22 03:25:05 EST 2012


The notifier will be registered in crash_notifier_list when loading
kvm-intel module. And the bitmap indicates whether we should do
VMCLEAR operation in kdump. The bits in the bitmap are set/unset
according to different conditions.
