Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/3] x86/reboot: KVM: Handle VMXOFF in KVM's reboot callback
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 13:07:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250724170725.1404455-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250724170725.1404455-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 119b5cb4ffd0166f3e98e9ee042f5046f7744f28 ]
Use KVM VMX's reboot/crash callback to do VMXOFF in an emergency instead
of manually and blindly doing VMXOFF. There's no need to attempt VMXOFF
if a hypervisor, i.e. KVM, isn't loaded/active, i.e. if the CPU can't
possibly be post-VMXON.
