Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 3/8] KVM: x86: do not allow re-enabling quirks
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 13:19:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316172003.1024253-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316172003.1024253-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 9966b7822b3f49b3aea5d926ece4bc92f1f0a700 ]
Allowing arbitrary re-enabling of quirks puts a limit on what the
quirks themselves can do, since you cannot assume that the quirk
prevents a particular state. More important, it also prevents
KVM from disabling a quirk at VM creation time, because userspace
can always go back and re-enable that.
