Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: nVMX: Add a sanity check that nested PML Full stems from EPT Violations
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2024 14:17:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240209221700.393189-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240209221700.393189-1-seanjc@google.com>
Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() sanity check to verify that a nested PML Full VM-Exit
is only synthesized when the original VM-Exit from L2 was an EPT Violation.
While KVM can fallthrough to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() if an EPT Misconfig
occurs on a stale MMIO SPTE, KVM should not treat the access as a write
(there isn't enough information to know *what* the access was), i.e. KVM
should never try to insert a PML entry in that case.
