That is first do the disable_intercept and then add the 'if (is_guest_mode(vcpu))' ? Otherwise the very first MSR write from the guest is going to hit condition above and never end up executing the disabling of the intercept? > + > + vmx_disable_intercept_for_msr(vmx->vmcs01.msr_bitmap, MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD, > + MSR_TYPE_W); > + break; > case MSR_IA32_CR_PAT: > if (vmcs_config.vmentry_ctrl & VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PAT) { > if (!kvm_mtrr_valid(vcpu, MSR_IA32_CR_PAT, data))
