[PATCH 11/35] KVM: detect if VCPU triple faults

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Thu Apr 03 2008 - 15:36:26 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.
