[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1] kvm: tolerate non-existing slot for log_start and log_stop

[David Hildenbrand]

log_start might be called by memory.c just before registering the
section. So we can actually get a log_start without a region_add, which
we can silently ignore.

This makes current KVM code trigger an assertion
("kvm_section_update_flags: error finding slot").

Also, if we want to trap every access to a section, we might not have a
slot. So let's just tolerate if we don't have a slot.

Fixes: 343562e8fa22 ("kvm: kvm_log_start/stop are only called with known 
sections")
