[PATCH 5/6] KVM: nVMX: Explicitly invalidate posted_intr_nv if PI is disabled at VM-Enter

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

 



Explicitly set posted_intr_nv to -1 when emulating nested VM-Enter and
posted interrupts are disabled to make it clear that posted_intr_nv is
valid if and only if nested posted interrupts are enabled, and as a cheap
way to harden against KVM bugs.

Note, KVM initializes posted_intr_nv to -1 at vCPU creation and when
resets it to -1 when unloading vmcs12 and/or leaving nested mode, i.e.
this is not a bug fix (or at least, it's not intended to be a bug fix).
