Subject: [4.1.y] vmwrite error: reg 401e value a9 (err 1)
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 17:17:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161109001702.GA24512@psuche> (raw)
On current 4.1.y stable kernel (4.1.35) on a Broadwell-EP system, I see the
following when shutting down a multiple vcpu VM:
[ 758.387722] vmwrite error: reg 401e value a9 (err 1)

This started with the inclusion of 6c2ca21665b99ce2f76389c353b985d8195387cc
("KVM: nVMX: Fix memory corruption when using VMCS shadowing") in 4.1.31.
The error is coming out of vmx_disable_pml() when freeing the 2nd and
subsequent vcpus, as SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML was already cleared from the
SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL when the first vcpu was freed.
Additionally pulling back a3eaa8649e4c6a6afdafaa04b9114fb230617bb1 ("KVM: VMX:
Fix commit which broke PML") from 4.4 resolves it for me, as it fixes
the above condition.
Is this the correct fix for 4.1.y?
