[PATCH 1/2] KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of reboot_notifier to hook restart/shutdown

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 17:14:28 EST


Use syscore_ops.shutdown to disable hardware virtualization during a
reboot instead of using the dedicated reboot_notifier so that KVM disables
virtualization _after_ system_state has been updated. This will allow
fixing a race in KVM's handling of a forced reboot where KVM can end up
enabling hardware virtualization between kernel_restart_prepare() and
machine_restart().
