That'd be a regular #AC, right?

Yes.

} else {
if (guest_alignment_check_enabled() || guest_sld_on())
inject #AC back to guest
and return 1;

Here is clearly an else path missing.

the else path is fall through.

i.e. calling handle_user_split_lock().

If cannot handle, it falls through to report #AC to user space (QEMU)

}


If there is no problem with the above. So what's the problem of the original?
