Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: Don't WARN on PV validities
Date: Thu,  6 Jul 2023 14:53:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230706145335.136910-1-frankja@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Validities usually indicate KVM errors and as such we want to print a
message with a high priority to alert users that a validity
occurred. With the introduction of Protected VMs it's become very easy
to trigger validities via IOCTLs if the VM is in PV mode.

An optimal solution would be to return EINVALs to all IOCTLs that
could result in such a situation. Unfortunately there are quite a lot
of ways to trigger PV validities since the number of allowed SCB data
combinations are very limited by FW in order to provide the guest's
security.

Let's only log those validities to the KVM sysfs log and skip the
WARN_ONCE(). This way we get a longish lasting log entry.
