[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: selftests: Detect if KVM bugged the VM

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

 



Teach selftests' ioctl() macros to detect and report when an ioctl()
unexpectedly fails because KVM has killed and/or bugged the VM.  Because
selftests does the right thing and tries to gracefully clean up VMs, a
bugged VM can generate confusing errors, e.g. when deleting memslots.

v2:
 - Drop the ARM patch (not worth the churn).
 - Drop macros for ioctls() that return file descriptors.  Looking at this
   with fresh eyes, I agree they do more harm than good. [Oliver]
