Re: [PATCH v2] KVM: X86: Fix softlockup when get the current kvmclock timestamp

[kbuild test robot]

Hi,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on kvm/linux-next]
[also build test WARNING on v4.14 next-20171124]
[if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system]

base:   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git linux-next
config: i386-allyesconfig (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.2.0-12) 7.2.1 20171025
reproduce:
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=i386 

Note: it may well be a FALSE warning. FWIW you are at least aware of it now.
