Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: selftests: Update nSVM EFER test to expect #GP when clearing SVME in L2
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 15:30:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022223052.646891-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022223052.646891-1-seanjc@google.com>
Adjust the nSVM EFER test to expect a #GP on WRMSR if L2 attempts to clear
EFER.SVME to match KVM's new behavior (synthesizing #GP is safer for KVM as
it doesn't require yanking the vCPU out of L2, and is fully synchronous).
