If guest gives MSR_KVM_PV_EOI_EN a wrong value, this printk() will be trigged, and kernel log is spammed with the useless message Fixes: 0d88800d5472 ("kvm: x86: ioapic and apic debug macros cleanup") Reported-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Message-Id: <1636026974-50555-1-git-send-email-lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 18 ++++++------------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) --- a/arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c @@ -676,31 +676,25 @@ static inline bool pv_eoi_enabled(struct static bool pv_eoi_get_pending(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { u8 val; - if (pv_eoi_get_user(vcpu, &val) < 0) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Can't read EOI MSR value: 0x%llx\n", - (unsigned long long)vcpu->arch.pv_eoi.msr_val); + if (pv_eoi_get_user(vcpu, &val) < 0) return false; - } + return val & KVM_PV_EOI_ENABLED; } static void pv_eoi_set_pending(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { - if (pv_eoi_put_user(vcpu, KVM_PV_EOI_ENABLED) < 0) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Can't set EOI MSR value: 0x%llx\n", - (unsigned long long)vcpu->arch.pv_eoi.msr_val); + if (pv_eoi_put_user(vcpu, KVM_PV_EOI_ENABLED) < 0) return; - } + __set_bit(KVM_APIC_PV_EOI_PENDING, &vcpu->arch.apic_attention); } static void pv_eoi_clr_pending(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { - if (pv_eoi_put_user(vcpu, KVM_PV_EOI_DISABLED) < 0) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Can't clear EOI MSR value: 0x%llx\n", - (unsigned long long)vcpu->arch.pv_eoi.msr_val); + if (pv_eoi_put_user(vcpu, KVM_PV_EOI_DISABLED) < 0) return; - } + __clear_bit(KVM_APIC_PV_EOI_PENDING, &vcpu->arch.apic_attention); } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx are queue-5.15/kvm-x86-don-t-print-when-fail-to-read-write-pv-eoi-memory.patch
