Subject: [PATCH 0/2] KVM: nSVM: Minor post-war fixups
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 20:30:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305203005.1021335-1-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
A couple of fixups in the aftermath of all nSVM patches, the first one
is just a cleanup suggested offlist by Sean, and the second is a fix for
the test to make sure it's checking #GP on VMRUN not VMLOAD.
In all honestly, I am not sure *why* the test was passing and a #GP was
generated on VMLOAD with a very large but valid GPA. vls=1, so KVM
should not be intercepting VMLOAD (in which case it would inject the
#GP). A #NPF is generated on the VMLOAD, and through tracing I found out
that kvm_mmu_page_fault() returns 1 (RETRY) to npf_interception(). There
shouldn't be a corresponding memslot, so I am not sure if KVM stuffed an
invalid mapping in the NPTs, or if KVM did nothing and the CPU #GP due
to an infinite #NPF loop (although npf_interception() was only called
once). Anyway, figuring that out is irrelevant to the fixup, which makes
sure we're actually getting #GP on VMRUN.
