[PATCH v2 2/5] KVM: fix direction of dependency on MMU notifiers
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 1 year, 11 months ago
KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES requires the generic MMU notifier code, because
it uses kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin/end.  However, it would not work with a bespoke
implementation of MMU notifiers that does not use KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER,
because most likely it would not synchronize correctly on invalidation.  So
the right thing to do is to note the problematic configuration if the
architecture does not select itself KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER; not to
enable it blindly.
