Marc, right?
As I mentioned, you can support change_pte by unmapping. This will cause ksm to be ineffective (pages will only be shared if the guest doesn't touch them at all), but it's enough to get started. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
