Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Fix mmu_reload() clash with nested vmx event injection
Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 18:07:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337008076-18956-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
Currently the inject_pending_event() call during guest entry happens after
kvm_mmu_reload(). This is for historical reasons - we used to
inject_pending_event() in atomic context, while kvm_mmu_reload() needs task
context.
A problem is that nested vmx can cause the mmu context to be reset, if event
injection is intercepted and causes a #VMEXIT instead (the #VMEXIT resets
CR0/CR3/CR4). If this happens, we end up with invalid root_hpa, and since
kvm_mmu_reload() has already run, no one will fix it and we end up entering
the guest this way.
Fix by reordering event injection to be before kvm_mmu_reload(). Use
->cancel_injection() to undo if kvm_mmu_reload() fails.
