Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] KVM: arm64: Clear the VM's feature bitmap when kvm_setup_vcpu() fails
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 07:58:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102075843.2556018-2-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102075843.2556018-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT records the requested features in the VM-wide bitmap
before kvm_setup_vcpu() runs, and leaves them there when setup fails
(e.g., HAS_EL2_E2H0 on a host without FEAT_NV1). The PMU attributes
read that bitmap before the vCPU is initialized, so after such a
failure with PMU_V3 requested, KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR on the PMU group no
longer returns -ENODEV.
Until an INIT has succeeded, every INIT that gets past the feature
checks rewrites the bitmap. After that, kvm_vcpu_init_changed()
requires the requested features to match it, so the copy is a no-op.
Clear the bitmap on failure while KVM_ARCH_FLAG_VCPU_FEATURES_CONFIGURED
is clear.
Fixes: 427733579744e ("KVM: arm64: Select default PMU in KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT handler")
