Subject: [PATCH MANUALSEL 5.4 2/2] KVM: nVMX: WARN on any attempt to allocate shadow VMCS for vmcs02
Date: Wed,  9 Feb 2022 13:57:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220209185733.49157-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220209185733.49157-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

[ Upstream commit d6e656cd266cdcc95abd372c7faef05bee271d1a ]

WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a shadow VMCS for vmcs02.  KVM emulates
VMCS shadowing but doesn't virtualize it, i.e. KVM should never allocate
a "real" shadow VMCS for L2.

The previous code WARNed but continued anyway with the allocation,
presumably in an attempt to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
However, alloc_vmcs (and hence alloc_shadow_vmcs) can fail, and
indeed the sole caller does:

	if (enable_shadow_vmcs && !alloc_shadow_vmcs(vcpu))
		goto out_shadow_vmcs;

which makes it not a useful attempt.
