[PATCH RFC] MIPS: KVM: role back pc in case of EMULATE_FAIL

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Thu May 07 2015 - 08:59:41 EST


Currently if kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load() fails with EMULATE_FAIL it will
not role back the pc nor will the caller handle this failure.

kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load is called only in arch/mips/kvm/mips.c without
checking the return value to signal EMULATE_FAIL:
383 if (vcpu->mmio_needed) {
384 if (!vcpu->mmio_is_write)
385 kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load(vcpu, run);
386 vcpu->mmio_needed = 0;
387 }

so maybe kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load should role back in case of failure
at arch/mips/kvm/emuilate.c:kvm_mips_complete_mmio_load()
2406 if (er == EMULATE_FAIL) {
2408 return er;

something like the below patch - only based no looking at how EMULATE_FAIL
is handled at other locations - not sure if this is appropriate here.

Patch was only compile tested msp71xx_defconfig + CONFIG_KVM=m

Patch is against 4.1-rc2 (localversion-next is -next-20150506)
