Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 11/20] KVM: x86: Move handling of is_guest_mode() into fastpath exit handlers
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 17:25:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250815002540.2375664-12-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250815002540.2375664-1-seanjc@google.com>
[ Upstream commit bf1a49436ea37b98dd2f37c57608951d0e28eecc ]
Let the fastpath code decide which exits can/can't be handled in the
fastpath when L2 is active, e.g. when KVM generates a VMX preemption
timer exit to forcefully regain control, there is no "work" to be done and
so such exits can be handled in the fastpath regardless of whether L1 or
L2 is active.
Moving the is_guest_mode() check into the fastpath code also makes it
easier to see that L2 isn't allowed to use the fastpath in most cases,
e.g. it's not immediately obvious why handle_fastpath_preemption_timer()
is called from the fastpath and the normal path.
