Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: WARN on any attempt to allocate shadow VMCS for vmcs02
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 22:05:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220125220527.2093146-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a shadow VMCS for vmcs02. KVM emulates
VMCS shadowing but doesn't virtualize it, i.e. KVM should never allocate
a "real" shadow VMCS for L2.
