Message-Id: <11754381383144-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>
Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 17:35:03 +0300
From: Avi Kivity <avi@...ranet.com>
To: kvm-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net
Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Avi Kivity <avi@...ranet.com>
Subject: [PATCH 06/41] KVM: Use a shared page for kernel/user communication when runing a vcpu
Instead of passing a 'struct kvm_run' back and forth between the kernel and
userspace, allocate a page and allow the user to mmap() it. This reduces
needless copying and makes the interface expandable by providing lots of
free space.
