[PATCH 06/12] KVM: nVMX: Fail on MMIO completion for nested posted interrupts

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

 



When the kernel has no mapping for the vmcs02 virtual APIC page,
userspace MMIO completion is necessary to process nested posted
interrupts. This is not a configuration that KVM supports. Rather than
silently ignoring the problem, try to exit to userspace with
KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR.

Note that the event that triggers this error is consumed as a
side-effect of a call to kvm_check_nested_events. On some paths
(notably through kvm_vcpu_check_block), the error is dropped. In any
case, this is an incremental improvement over always ignoring the
error.
