Subject: [PATCH 13/14] KVM: x86: Don't panic the kernel if completing userspace I/O / MMIO goes sideways
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:20:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225012049.920665-14-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225012049.920665-1-seanjc@google.com>
Kill the VM instead of the host kernel if KVM botches I/O and/or MMIO
handling. There is zero danger to the host or guest, i.e. panicking the
host isn't remotely justified.
