Subject: [PATCH v3] KVM: VMX: Remove redundant handling of bus lock vmexit
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 19:59:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1634299161-30101-1-git-send-email-hao.xiang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

Hardware may or may not set exit_reason.bus_lock_detected on BUS_LOCK
VM-Exits. Dealing with KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK in handle_bus_lock_vmexit
could be redundant when exit_reason.basic is EXIT_REASON_BUS_LOCK.

We can remove redundant handling of bus lock vmexit. Unconditionally Set
exit_reason.bus_lock_detected in handle_bus_lock_vmexit(), and deal with
KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK only in vmx_handle_exit().
