Subject: [PATCH 31/45] KVM: x86: "Handle" failed decode when skipping instructions
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 12:44:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102174512.8903-15-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102174130.8779-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
When calling into the emulator to skip an instruction, the caller has
already performed the side effects of the instruction and cannot
propagate -EFAULT. Mark the VM dead.
