In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RISC-V: KVM: Teardown riscv specific bits after kvm_exit During a module removal, kvm_exit invokes arch specific disable call which disables AIA. However, we invoke aia_exit before kvm_exit resulting in the following warning. KVM kernel module can't be inserted afterwards due to inconsistent state of IRQ. [25469.031389] percpu IRQ 31 still enabled on CPU0!
