mainlining shenanigans
ed52870f46
The below test case can cause infinite loop in kvm when ept=0.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
long r[5];
int main()
{
r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY);
r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 7);
ioctl(r[4], KVM_RUN, 0);
}
It doesn't setup the memory regions, mmu_alloc_shadow/direct_roots() in
kvm return 1 when kvm fails to allocate root page table which can result
in beblow infinite loop:
vcpu_run() {
for (;;) {
r = vcpu_enter_guest()::kvm_mmu_reload() returns 1
if (r <= 0)
break;
if (need_resched())
cond_resched();
}
}
This patch fixes it by returning -ENOSPC when there is no available kvm mmu
page for root page table.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
