[PATCH v3 1/4] KVM: SVM: Allow KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE to clear GIF when SVME==0
Posted by Yosry Ahmed 1 week, 3 days ago
From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@google.com>

GIF==0 together with EFER.SVME==0 is a valid architectural
state. Don't return -EINVAL for KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE when this
combination is specified.

Fixes: cc440cdad5b7 ("KVM: nSVM: implement KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE")
