Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 5/5] KVM: x86: Re-pend GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES if getting said pages fails
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:09:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930150957.2359214-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930150957.2359214-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 10180a277549339020b08000206092c07e0bff5a ]

Re-pend GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES before exiting to userspace if getting the
nested pages fails in the KVM_RUN path.  If userspace re-runs the vCPU, and
vmcs02 holds valid PFNs from the *previous* run of L2, then KVM could
re-enter L2 with stale, unpinned PFNs mapped into e.g. the vAPIC page.

Note, both SVM and VMX (as of commit 11722439fb20 ("KVM: nVMX: Ensure
KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES is cleared on VM-Exit") ensure the request
is cleared on VM-Exit (including the "forced" case), i.e. there is no risk
of double-mapping due to emulated VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME/VMRUN *and* the request
trying to map the nested pages.

Fixes: 671ddc700fd0 ("KVM: nVMX: Don't leak L1 MMIO regions to L2")
