[PATCHv4 3/6] kvm: switch pit creation to slots_lock

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Mon Jun 29 2009 - 13:35:43 EST


switch pit creation to slots_lock. slots_lock is already taken for read
everywhere, so we only need to take it for write when creating pit.
This is in preparation to removing in_range and kvm->lock around it.
