From bbde13cd14ad4eec18529ce0bf5876058464e124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 12:38:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] target/arm/kvm: Retry KVM_CREATE_VM call if it fails EINTR Occasionally the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl can return EINTR, even though there is no pending signal to be taken. In commit 94ccff13382055 we added a retry-on-EINTR loop to the KVM_CREATE_VM call in the generic KVM code. Adopt the same approach for the use of the ioctl in the Arm-specific KVM code (where we use it to create a scratch VM for probing for various things).
