From 88b23a2e8286b7016c3b58dc10093cf28c22aa3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Loc Nguyen Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 05:42:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Request event processing for exception VM-Exits Request event processing whenever kvm_queue_exception_vmexit() queues an exception VM-Exit. Most callers reach the helper through kvm_multiple_exception(), which already sets KVM_REQ_EVENT, but nested asynchronous page faults call it directly. Without another event request, vcpu_enter_guest() skips kvm_check_and_inject_events() and re-enters L2. A subsequent VM-Exit can clear the pending exception while reconstructing vectoring state, losing the synthetic #PF VM-Exit. The APF reason remains PAGE_NOT_PRESENT and a later regular #PF can consume the stale value. Setting KVM_REQ_EVENT in the common helper ensures that L1 receives the queued VM-Exit before KVM re-enters L2.
