Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: SVM: Fix nested NPF injection to set PFERR_GUEST_{PAGE,FINAL}_MASK
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:49:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121004906.2373989-2-chengkev@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260121004906.2373989-1-chengkev@google.com>

When KVM emulates an instruction for L2 and encounters a nested page
fault (e.g., during string I/O emulation), nested_svm_inject_npf_exit()
injects an NPF to L1. However, the code incorrectly hardcodes
(1ULL << 32) for exit_info_1's upper bits when the original exit was
not an NPF. This always sets PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK even when the fault
occurred on a page table page, preventing L1 from correctly identifying
the cause of the fault.

Set PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK in the error code when a nested page fault
occurs during a guest page table walk, and PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK when
the fault occurs on the final GPA-to-HPA translation.

Widen error_code in struct x86_exception from u16 to u64 to accommodate
the PFERR_GUEST_* bits (bits 32 and 33).

Update nested_svm_inject_npf_exit() to use fault->error_code directly
instead of hardcoding the upper bits. Also add a WARN_ON_ONCE if neither
PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK nor PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK is set, as this would
indicate a bug in the page fault handling code.
