Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Forbid /dev/kvm being opened by a compat task when CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT=n
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:05:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191113160523.16130-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)

On a system without KVM_COMPAT, we prevent IOCTLs from being issued
by a compat task. Although this prevents most silly things from
happening, it can still confuse a 32bit userspace that is able
to open the kvm device (the qemu test suite seems to be pretty
mad with this behaviour).

Take a more radical approach and return a -ENODEV to the compat
task.
