Subject: [PATCH kvmtool v3 1/3] cpu: vmexit: Handle KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT in KVM_RUN ioctl return
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:27:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250428115745.70832-2-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250428115745.70832-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
Linux kernel documentation states:
"Note! KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is unique among all KVM exit reasons in
that it accompanies a return code of '-1', not '0'! errno will always be
set to EFAULT or EHWPOISON when KVM exits with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT,
userspace should assume kvm_run.exit_reason is stale/undefined for all
other error numbers." "
Update KVM_RUN ioctl error handling to correctly handle
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT. This enables the memory fault exit handlers in
the kernel to return -EFAULT as the return value. VMM support is
still required to handle these memory fault exits, but that is not
included in this change
