Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Revert "KVM: SVM: Skip WRMSR fastpath on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid"
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 15:43:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230721224337.2335137-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230721224337.2335137-1-seanjc@google.com>

Now that handle_fastpath_set_msr_irqoff() acquires kvm->srcu, i.e. allows
dereferencing memslots during WRMSR emulation, drop the requirement that
"next RIP" is valid.  In hindsight, acquiring kvm->srcu would have been a
better fix than avoiding the pastpath, but at the time it was thought that
accessing SRCU-protected data in the fastpath was a one-off edge case.

This reverts commit 5c30e8101e8d5d020b1d7119117889756a6ed713.
