| |
2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de>
upstream commit: 4cd481f68dde99ac416003b825c835f71e364393
When checking for overlapping slots on registration of a new one, kvm currently also considers zero-length (ie. deleted) slots and rejects requests incorrectly. This finally denies user space from joining slots. Fix the check by skipping deleted slots and advertise this via a KVM_CAP_JOIN_MEMORY_REGIONS_WORKS.
