Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: always allow writing '0' to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2020 11:31:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200911093147.484565-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
Even without in-kernel LAPIC we should allow writing '0' to
MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN as we're not enabling the mechanism. In
particular, QEMU with 'kernel-irqchip=off' fails to start
a guest with
qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x4b564d02 to 0x0
Fixes: 9d3c447c72fb2 ("KVM: X86: Fix async pf caused null-ptr-deref")
