Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86: Remove obsolete disabling of page faults in kvm_arch_vcpu_put()
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 16:03:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210123000334.3123628-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210123000334.3123628-1-seanjc@google.com>
Remove the disabling of page faults across kvm_steal_time_set_preempted()
as KVM now accesses the steal time struct (shared with the guest) via a
cached mapping (see commit b043138246a4, "x86/KVM: Make sure
KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is not missed".) The cache lookup is flagged as
atomic, thus it would be a bug if KVM tried to resolve a new pfn, i.e.
we want the splat that would be reached via might_fault().
