Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: selftests: Detect if KVM bugged the VM
Date: Tue,  7 Nov 2023 17:09:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231108010953.560824-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

Teach selftests' ioctl() macros to detect and report when an ioctl()
unexpectedly fails because KVM has killed and/or bugged the VM.  Because
selftests does the right thing and tries to gracefully clean up VMs, a
bugged VM can generate confusing errors, e.g. when deleting memslots.

v2:
 - Drop the ARM patch (not worth the churn).
 - Drop macros for ioctls() that return file descriptors.  Looking at this
   with fresh eyes, I agree they do more harm than good. [Oliver]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230804004226.1984505-1-seanjc@google.com

  KVM: selftests: Drop the single-underscore ioctl() helpers
  KVM: selftests: Add logic to detect if ioctl() failed because VM was
    killed
