Subject: [PATCH 01/18] KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 12:05:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250805190526.1453366-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250805190526.1453366-1-seanjc@google.com>
Skip the WRMSR and HLT fastpaths in SVM's VM-Exit handler if the next RIP
isn't valid, e.g. because KVM is running with nrips=false. SVM must
decode and emulate to skip the instruction if the CPU doesn't provide the
next RIP, and getting the instruction bytes to decode requires reading
guest memory. Reading guest memory through the emulator can fault, i.e.
can sleep, which is disallowed since the fastpath handlers run with IRQs
disabled.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/uaccess.h:106

Note, this is essentially a reapply of commit 5c30e8101e8d ("KVM: SVM:
Skip WRMSR fastpath on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid"), but with
different justification (KVM now grabs SRCU when skipping the instruction
for other reasons).
Fixes: b439eb8ab578 ("Revert "KVM: SVM: Skip WRMSR fastpath on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid"")
