Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: hyper-v: Prevent impossible NULL pointer dereference in evmcs_load()
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 15:01:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240816130124.286226-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
GCC 12.3.0 complains about a potential NULL pointer dereference in
evmcs_load() as hv_get_vp_assist_page() can return NULL. In fact, this
cannot happen because KVM verifies (hv_init_evmcs()) that every CPU has a
valid VP assist page and aborts enabling the feature otherwise. CPU
onlining path is also checked in vmx_hardware_enable().
To make the compiler happy and to future proof the code, add a KVM_BUG_ON()
sentinel. It doesn't seem to be possible (and logical) to observe
evmcs_load() happening without an active vCPU so it is presumed that
kvm_get_running_vcpu() can't return NULL.
No functional change intended.
