Subject: Re: [PATCH] svm: Avoid VINTR injection during NMI shadow
Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 17:56:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C80A04D0.13AC9%keir.fraser@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

I think the if statement should be:
 if ((vmcb->general1_intercepts & GENERAL1_INTERCEPT_IRET) &&
     (intack.source == hvm_intsrc_nmi))
     return;

Which I think deals properly and specifically with this hang problem.

What do you think?
