Subject: [PATCH] i386: Don't try to set MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN if kernel-irqchip=off
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2020 11:14:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200922151455.1763896-1-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)
This addresses the following crash when running Linux v5.8
with kernel-irqchip=off:
qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x4b564d02 to 0x0
qemu-system-x86_64: ../target/i386/kvm.c:2714: kvm_buf_set_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed.
There is a kernel-side fix for the issue too (kernel commit
d831de177217 "KVM: x86: always allow writing '0' to
MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN"), but it's nice to simply not trigger
the bug if running an older kernel.
