Will let Scott comment on this? But ppc_md.restart can point to only one handler and during paravirt patching we changed this to new handler.

If we also check for kvm_para_available() I agree. Otherwise QEMU might advertise the reset hcall, but the guest kernel may not implement KVM hypercalls. In that case the device tree check will succeed, but the actual hypercall will not.

Wouldn't that be a bug in QEMU? Or in KVM for exposing the hcall capability without implementing them? Not that I have anything against checking kvm_para_available()... though that (or its functional equivalent that returns a pointer to the node) should really be a prerequisite for even being able to interpret KVM-specific properties in the hypervisor node. -Scott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Detect the availability of the reset hcalls by looking at kvm,has-reset property on the /hypervisor node in the device tree passed to the VM and patches the reset mechanism to use reset hcall. This patch uses the reser hcall when kvm,has-reset is there in Signed-off-by: Bharat Bhushan <bharat.bhushan@freescale.com> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/epapr_paravirt.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
