[Qemu-devel] Does kvm_fd mean KVM or VCPU fd?

[Wei-Ren Chen]

Hi all,

  While reading KVM releated code in QEMU, I found the name of one
field in CPU_COMMON (cpu-defs.h), i.e. kvm_fd, might be misleading.
See the code below,

---
int kvm_init_vcpu(CPUArchState *env)
{
    ret = kvm_vm_ioctl(s, KVM_CREATE_VCPU, env->cpu_index);
    env->kvm_fd = ret; /* VCPU fd? */
}
---

  I think KVM_CREATE_VCPU should return VCPU fd, right? AFAIK, in KVM
world, kvm_fd usually means the fd we get after opening "/dev/kvm".
Just want to make sure I understand the code correcly. Thanks.

Regards,
chenwj
