-If a vCPU is in running state while this ioctl is invoked, the vCPU may
-experience inconsistent filtering behavior on MSR accesses.
+Note, invoking this ioctl while a vCPU is running is inherently racy. However,
+KVM does guarantee that vCPUs will see either the previous filter or the new
+filter, e.g. MSRs with identical settings in both the old and new filter will
+have deterministic behavior.

-flags values for ``struct kvm_msr_filter_range``:
-
-``KVM_MSR_FILTER_READ``
-
- Filter read accesses to MSRs using the given bitmap. A 0 in the bitmap
- indicates that a read should immediately fail, while a 1 indicates that
- a read for a particular MSR should be handled regardless of the default
- filter action.
-
-``KVM_MSR_FILTER_WRITE``
-
- Filter write accesses to MSRs using the given bitmap. A 0 in the bitmap
- indicates that a write should immediately fail, while a 1 indicates that
- a write for a particular MSR should be handled regardless of the default
- filter action.
-
-``KVM_MSR_FILTER_READ | KVM_MSR_FILTER_WRITE``
-
- Filter both read and write accesses to MSRs using the given bitmap. A 0
- in the bitmap indicates that both reads and writes should immediately fail,
- while a 1 indicates that reads and writes for a particular MSR are not
- filtered by this range.
-
-flags values for ``struct kvm_msr_filter``:
-
-``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW``
-
- If no filter range matches an MSR index that is getting accessed, KVM will
- fall back to allowing access to the MSR.
-
-``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY``
-
- If no filter range matches an MSR index that is getting accessed, KVM will
- fall back to rejecting access to the MSR. In this mode, all MSRs that should
- be processed by KVM need to explicitly be marked as allowed in the bitmaps.
-
-This ioctl allows user space to define up to 16 bitmaps of MSR ranges to
-specify whether a certain MSR access should be explicitly filtered for or not.
-
-If this ioctl has never been invoked, MSR accesses are not guarded and the
-default KVM in-kernel emulation behavior is fully preserved.
-
-Calling this ioctl with an empty set of ranges (all nmsrs == 0) disables MSR
-filtering. In that mode, ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY`` is invalid and causes
-an error.
-
-As soon as the filtering is in place, every MSR access is processed through
-the filtering except for accesses to the x2APIC MSRs (from 0x800 to 0x8ff);
-x2APIC MSRs are always allowed, independent of the ``default_allow`` setting,
-and their behavior depends on the ``X2APIC_ENABLE`` bit of the APIC base
-register.
-
-If a bit is within one of the defined ranges, read and write accesses are
-guarded by the bitmap's value for the MSR index if the kind of access
-is included in the ``struct kvm_msr_filter_range`` flags. If no range
-cover this particular access, the behavior is determined by the flags
-field in the kvm_msr_filter struct: ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW``
-and ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY``.
-
-Each bitmap range specifies a range of MSRs to potentially allow access on.
-The range goes from MSR index [base .. base+nmsrs]. The flags field
-indicates whether reads, writes or both reads and writes are filtered
-by setting a 1 bit in the bitmap for the corresponding MSR index.
-
-If an MSR access is not permitted through the filtering, it generates a
-#GP inside the guest. When combined with KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR, that
-allows user space to deflect and potentially handle various MSR accesses
-into user space.
-
-Note, invoking this ioctl with a vCPU is running is inherently racy. However,
-KVM does guarantee that vCPUs will see either the previous filter or the new
-filter, e.g. MSRs with identical settings in both the old and new filter will
-have deterministic behavior.
