Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: fault-injection: Add entries for KVM fault injection points
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2025 21:51:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250806215133.43475-3-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250806215133.43475-1-jthoughton@google.com>
KVM now supports three fault injection points:
1. fail_kvm_mmu_invalidate_retry, for all architectures.
2. fail_tdp_mmu_cmpxchg, for x86 only.
3. fail_tdp_mmu_resched, for x86 only.
Provide basic documentation for them.
