[PATCH 0/3] KVM: Mark vendor module param read-only after init

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

 



Mark the read-only VMX and SVM module params, and a few other global
variables, read-only after init.  In many cases, KVM is royally hosed if
a configuration knob changes while VMs are running, e.g. toggling the TDP
knob would result in spectacular fireworks.

This series is probably best queued very early in a cycle, as the result
of mis-labeled variable is an unexpected kernel #PF.
