Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: nVMX: restore L1's EFER prior to setting the nested state
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:00:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211110100018.367426-3-mlevitsk@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211110100018.367426-1-mlevitsk@redhat.com>

It is known that some kvm's users (e.g. qemu) load part of L2's register
state prior to setting the nested state after a migration.

If a 32 bit L2 guest is running in a 64 bit L1 guest, and nested migration
happens, Qemu will restore L2's EFER, and then the nested state load
function will use it as if it was L1's EFER.
