Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: WARN (once) if RTC pending EOI tracking goes off the rails
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:45:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618174527.1982333-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
WARN once if KVM's tracking for pending EOIs for Real-Time Clock IRQs goes
off the rails, as there's no reason to bug the host or risk a DoS due to
spamming dmesg with endless WARNs. Absolute worst case scenario, guest
time will go awry.
