[PATCH 2/6] KVM: VMX: cleanup check for invalid EPT violation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



handle_ept_violation is checking for "guest-linear-address invalid" +
"paging-structure walk", which is a sign of a bug in KVM.  However,
_all_ EPT violations without a valid guest linear address are paging
structure walks, because those EPT violations happen when loading the
guest PDPTEs.  So simplify the check to only look at bit 7 of the
exit qualification.
