Currently if kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load() fails with EMULATE_FAIL it will not role back the pc nor will the caller handle this failure. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@xxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/kvm/emulate.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load is called only in arch/mips/kvm/mips.c without checking the return value to signal EMULATE_FAIL: 383 if (vcpu->mmio_needed) { 384 if (!vcpu->mmio_is_write) 385 kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load(vcpu, run); 386 vcpu->mmio_needed = 0; 387 } so maybe kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load should role back in case of failure at arch/mips/kvm/emuilate.c:kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load() 2406 if (er == EMULATE_FAIL) { 2408 return er; something like the below patch - only based no looking at how EMULATE_FAIL is handled at other locations - not sure if this is appropriate here.
