[PATCH 3/5] x86: KVM: SVM: refresh AVIC inhibition in svm_leave_nested()
Posted by Maxim Levitsky 2 years, 2 months ago
svm_leave_nested() similar to a nested VM exit, get the vCPU out of nested
mode and thus should end the local inhibition of AVIC on this vCPU.

Failure to do so, can lead to hangs on guest reboot.

Raise the KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE request to refresh the AVIC state of the
current vCPU in this case.

Unnecessary newline.

Fixes: f44509f849fe ("KVM: x86: SVM: allow AVIC to co-exist with a nested guest running")
