Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: Check for injected exceptions before queuing a debug exception
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 01:13:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227011306.3111731-4-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227011306.3111731-1-yosry@kernel.org>

On KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG, if a #DB or #BP is injected with
KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_DB or KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_BP, KVM fails with -EBUSY
if there is an existing pending exception. This was introduced in
commit 4f926bf29186 ("KVM: x86: Polish exception injection via
KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG") to avoid a warning in kvm_queue_exception(),
presumably to avoid overriding a pending exception.

This added another (arguably nice) property, if there's a pending
exception, KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG cannot cause a #DF or triple fault.
However, if an exception is injected, KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG will cause
a #DF or triple fault in the guest, as kvm_multiple_exception() combines
them.

Check for both pending and injected exceptions for
KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_DB and KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_BP, to avoid accidentally
injecting a #DB or triple fault.
