Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: nSVM: avoid loss of pending IRQ/NMI before entering L2
Date: Thu,  5 Mar 2020 11:13:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1583403227-11432-5-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1583403227-11432-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>

This patch reproduces for nSVM the change that was made for nVMX in
commit b5861e5cf2fc ("KVM: nVMX: Fix loss of pending IRQ/NMI before
entering L2").  While I do not have a test that breaks without it, I
cannot see why it would not be necessary since all events are unblocked
by VMRUN's setting of GIF back to 1.
