Subject: [PATCH v2 6/8] KVM: x86: Fix misleading comments on handling pending exceptions
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:30:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511278211-12257-7-git-send-email-liran.alon@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1511278211-12257-1-git-send-email-liran.alon@oracle.com>

The reason that exception.pending should block re-injection of
NMI/interrupt is not described correctly in comment in code.
Instead, it describes why a pending exception should be injected
before a pending NMI/interrupt.

Therefore, move currently present comment to code-block evaluating
a new pending event which explains why exception.pending is evaluated
first.
In addition, create a new comment describing that exception.pending
blocks re-injection of NMI/interrupt because the exception may have
been queued during handling of exit due to NMI/interrupt delivery.

Fixes: 664f8e26b00c ("KVM: X86: Fix loss of exception which has not
yet been injected")
