Subject: [PATCH v7 21/26] KVM: nSVM: Restrict mapping vmcb12 on nested VMRUN
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 00:34:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303003421.2185681-22-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303003421.2185681-1-yosry@kernel.org>
All accesses to the vmcb12 in the guest memory on nested VMRUN are
limited to nested_svm_vmrun() copying vmcb12 fields and writing them on
failed consistency checks. However, 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, copying to cache, and consistency checks from
nested_svm_vmrun() into a new helper, nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache()
to limit the scope of the mapping.
