Subject: [patch] kvm: fix GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section in
kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu()
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
fix a GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section bug:
kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu() called kvm_mmu_init(), which calls
alloc_pages(), while holding the vcpu. The fix is to set up the MMU
state earlier, it does not require a loaded CPU state.
(NOTE: free_vcpus does an kvm_mmu_destroy() call so there's no need
for any extra teardown branch on allocation failure here.)
found in 2.6.20-rc2-rt1.
