[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: check_nested_events if there is an injectable NMI

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

 



With NMI intercept moved to check_nested_events there is a race
condition where vcpu->arch.nmi_pending is set late causing
the execution of check_nested_events to not setup correctly
for nested.exit_required. A second call to check_nested_events
allows the injectable nmi to be detected in time in order to
require immediate exit from L2 to L1.
