Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KVM: nVMX: Make VMPTRLD result in #UD when eVMCS is used
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 18:22:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814162221.2144473-2-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814162221.2144473-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
VMPTRLD with active eVMCS is already forbidden, however, returning 1
without skipping the instruction or queuing an exception will likely
result in L1 getting stuck. Genuine Hyper-V seems to inject #UD under
similar circumstances, mimic the behavior in KVM.
