From db912f963909b3cbc3a059b7528f6a1a1eb6ffae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 12:23:10 +0300 Subject: HOTPLUG: Add CPU_DYING notifier KVM wants a notification when a cpu is about to die, so it can disable hardware extensions, but at a time when user processes cannot be scheduled on the cpu, so it doesn't try to use virtualization extensions after they have been disabled. This adds a CPU_DYING notification. The notification is called in atomic context on the doomed cpu.
