[PATCH 0/4] Process some MMIO-related errors without KVM exit

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

 



Currently, KVM may return a variety of internal errors to VMM when
accessing MMIO, and some of them could be gracefully handled on the KVM
level instead. Moreover, some of the MMIO-related errors are handled
differently in VMX in comparison with SVM, which produces certain
inconsistency and should be fixed. This patch series introduces
KVM-level handling for the following situations:

1) Guest is accessing MMIO during event delivery: triple fault instead
of internal error on VMX and infinite loop on SVM

2) Guest fetches an instruction from MMIO: inject #UD and resume guest
execution without internal error

Additionaly, this patch series includes a KVM selftest which covers
different cases of MMIO misuse.

Also, update the set_memory_region_test to expect the triple fault when
starting VM with no RAM.
