Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: Never clear KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD from a vCPU's requests
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:33:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729193341.621487-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250729193341.621487-1-seanjc@google.com>

Use kvm_test_request() instead of kvm_check_request() when querying
KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD, i.e. don't clear KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD, as the entire purpose
of KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD is to prevent the vCPU from enterring the guest ever
again, even if userspace insists on redoing KVM_RUN.

Ensuring KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD is never cleared will allow relaxing KVM's rule
that ioctls can't be invoked on dead VMs, to only disallow ioctls if the
VM is bugged, i.e. if KVM hit a KVM_BUG_ON().

Opportunistically add compile-time assertions to guard against clearing
KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD through the standard APIs.
