From 72dc67a69690288538142df73a7e3ac66fea68dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Izik Eidus Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:04:15 +0200 Subject: KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots. This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.
