The patch has been verified against build version kernel-2.6.18-151.el5 which may be found here: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=1822468 The proposed KVM-side patch may be found attached to the BZ case (link above). kernel/smp.c | 1 + mm/gup.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) ================================================================= diff --git a/arch/x86_64/kernel/smp.c b/arch/x86_64/kernel/smp.c index ac38b08..ce4d348 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/kernel/smp.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/kernel/smp.c @@ -294,6 +294,7 @@ void smp_send_reschedule(int cpu) { send_IPI_mask(cpumask_of_cpu(cpu), RESCHEDULE_VECTOR); } +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(smp_send_reschedule); /* * Structure and data for smp_call_function().
