Message-Id: <1389805691-3183-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:08:11 +0100 From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: mtosatti@...hat.com, kvm@...r.kernel.org, glommer@...il.com Subject: [PATCH] KVM: remove useless write to vcpu->hv_clock.tsc_timestamp After the previous patch from Marcelo, the comment before this write became obsolete. In fact, the write is unnecessary. The calls to kvm_write_tsc ultimately result in a master clock update as soon as all TSCs agree and the master clock is re-enabled. This master clock update will rewrite tsc_timestamp. So, together with the comment, delete the dead write too.
