    KVM: Remove on_each_cpu(hardware_disable_nolock) in kvm_exit() · 667a83bf
    Isaku Yamahata authored
    Drop the superfluous invocation of hardware_disable_nolock() during
    kvm_exit(), as it's nothing more than a glorified nop.
    
    KVM automatically disables hardware on all CPUs when the last VM is
    destroyed, and kvm_exit() cannot be called until the last VM goes
    away as the calling module is pinned by an elevated refcount of the fops
    associated with /dev/kvm.  This holds true even on x86, where the caller
    of kvm_exit() is not kvm.ko, but is instead a dependent module, kvm_amd.ko
    or kvm_intel.ko, as kvm_chardev_ops.owner is set to the module that calls
    kvm_init(), not hardcoded to the base kvm.ko module.
