Subject: [PATCH v5 24/26] KVM: nSVM: Restrict mapping VMCB12 on nested VMRUN
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2026 19:08:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206190851.860662-25-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206190851.860662-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

All accesses to the VMCB12 in the guest memory on nested VMRUN are
limited to nested_svm_vmrun() and nested_svm_failed_vmrun(). However,
the VMCB12 remains mapped throughout nested_svm_vmrun().  Mapping and
unmapping around usages is possible, but it becomes easy-ish to
introduce bugs where 'vmcb12' is used after being unmapped.

Move reading the VMCB12 and copying to cache from nested_svm_vmrun()
into a new helper, nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache(),  that maps the
VMCB12, caches the needed fields, and unmaps it. Use
kvm_vcpu_map_readonly() as only reading the VMCB12 is needed.

Similarly, move mapping the VMCB12 on VMRUN failure into
nested_svm_failed_vmrun(). Inject a triple fault if the mapping fails,
similar to nested_svm_vmexit().
