[PATCHv3 04/10] KVM: x86: Raise an event request when processing NMIs if an NMI is pending

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Don't raise KVM_REQ_EVENT if no NMIs are pending at the end of
process_nmi().  Finishing process_nmi() without a pending NMI will become
much more likely when KVM gains support for AMD's vNMI, which allows
pending vNMIs in hardware, i.e. doesn't require explicit injection.
