[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: selftests: Detect if KVM bugged the VM

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Nov 07 2023 - 20:09:58 EST


Teach selftests' ioctl() macros to detect and report when an ioctl()
unexpectedly fails because KVM has killed and/or bugged the VM. Because
selftests does the right thing and tries to gracefully clean up VMs, a
bugged VM can generate confusing errors, e.g. when deleting memslots.

v2:
- Drop the ARM patch (not worth the churn).
- Drop macros for ioctls() that return file descriptors. Looking at this
with fresh eyes, I agree they do more harm than good. [Oliver]
