[PATCH v2 1/1] KVM: make pid available for uevents without debugfs

From: Claudio Imbrenda
Date: Mon Jul 24 2017 - 07:40:20 EST


Simplify and improve the code so that the PID is always available in
the uevent even when debugfs is not available.

This adds a userspace_pid field to struct kvm, as per Radim's
suggestion, so that the PID can be retrieved on destruction too.

Fixes: 286de8f6ac9202 ("KVM: trigger uevents when creating or destroying a VM")
