Subject: [PATCH v5 15/26] KVM: nSVM: Clear EVENTINJ field in VMCB12 on nested #VMEXIT
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:08:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206190851.860662-16-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206190851.860662-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
According to the APM, from the reference of the VMRUN instruction:
Upon #VMEXIT, the processor performs the following actions in
order to return to the host execution context:
...
clear EVENTINJ field in VMCB
KVM correctly cleared EVENTINJ (i.e. event_inj and event_inj_err) on
nested #VMEXIT before commit 2d8a42be0e2b ("KVM: nSVM: synchronize VMCB
controls updated by the processor on every vmexit"). That commit made
sure the fields are synchronized between VMCB02 and KVM's cached VMCB12
on every L2->L0 #VMEXIT, such that they are serialized correctly on
save/restore.
However, the commit also incorrectly copied the fields from KVM's cached
VMCB12 to L1's VMCB12 on nested #VMEXIT. Go back to clearing the fields,
and so in __nested_svm_vmexit() instead of nested_svm_vmexit(), such
that it also applies to #VMEXITs caused by a failed VMRUN.
Fixes: 2d8a42be0e2b ("KVM: nSVM: synchronize VMCB controls updated by the processor on every vmexit")
