Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: remove bogus user-triggerable WARN_ON
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 13:43:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200319174318.20752-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
The WARN_ON is essentially comparing a user-provided value with 0. It is
trivial to trigger it just by passing garbage to KVM_SET_CLOCK. Guests
can break if you do so, but if it hurts when you do like this just do not
do it.

Fixes: 9446e6fce0ab ("KVM: x86: fix WARN_ON check of an unsigned less than zero")
