Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] KVM: selftests: Avoid infinite loop if ucall_alloc() fails
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2022 01:53:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221209015307.1781352-8-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221209015307.1781352-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev>
Guest assertions depend on successfully allocating a ucall structure. As
such, the use of guest assertions when ucall_alloc() fails simply leads
to an infinite loop in guest code.
Use GUEST_UCALL_NONE() to indicate failure instead. Though not
technically necessary, use a goto to have a single callsite and an
associated comment about why assertions don't work here. It isn't
perfect, at least the poor developer gets some signal out of the
guest...
Fixes: 426729b2cf2e ("KVM: selftests: Add ucall pool based implementation")
