[PATCH v2 08/18] x86/reboot: Assert that IRQs are disabled when turning off virtualization

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 16:43:41 EST


Assert that IRQs are disabled when turning off virtualization in an
emergency. KVM enables hardware via on_each_cpu(), i.e. could re-enable
hardware if a pending IPI were delivered after disabling virtualization.

Remove a misleading comment from emergency_reboot_disable_virtualization()
about "just" needing to guarantee the CPU is stable (see above).
