[PATCH] KVM: x86: Exit to userspace when kvm_check_nested_events fails

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Wed Jul 28 2021 - 07:53:28 EST


From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>

If kvm_check_nested_events fails due to raising an
EXIT_REASON_INTERNAL_ERROR, propagate it to userspace
immediately, even if the vCPU would otherwise be sleeping.
This happens for example when the posted interrupt descriptor
points outside guest memory.
