[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Don't intercept IRET when injecting NMI and vNMI is enabled

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

 



When vNMI is enabled, rely entirely on hardware to correctly handle NMI
blocking, i.e. don't intercept IRET to detect when NMIs are no longer
blocked.  KVM already correctly ignores svm->nmi_masked when vNMI is
enabled, so the effect of the bug is essentially an unnecessary VM-Exit.

Note, per the APM, hardware sets the BLOCKING flag when software directly
directly injects an NMI:

  If Event Injection is used to inject an NMI when NMI Virtualization is
  enabled, VMRUN sets V_NMI_MASK in the guest state.

Santosh, can you verify that I didn't break vNMI?  I don't have access to the
right hardware.  Thanks!
