This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: x86: Protect the unused bits in MSR exiting flags to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-x86-protect-the-unused-bits-in-msr-exiting-flags.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d7e4dee6e86072b2f59d7e01f6ca0e5a0c7205de Author: Aaron Lewis <aaronlewis@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 14 16:13:15 2022 +0000 KVM: x86: Protect the unused bits in MSR exiting flags [ Upstream commit cf5029d5dd7cb0aaa53250fa9e389abd231606b3 ] The flags for KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR and KVM_X86_SET_MSR_FILTER have no protection for their unused bits. Without protection, future development for these features will be difficult. Add the protection needed to make it possible to extend these features in the future.
