    KVM: nVMX: Always make an attempt to map eVMCS after migration · f5c7e842
    Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
    When enlightened VMCS is in use and nested state is migrated with
    vmx_get_nested_state()/vmx_set_nested_state() KVM can't map evmcs
    page right away: evmcs gpa is not 'struct kvm_vmx_nested_state_hdr'
    and we can't read it from VP assist page because userspace may decide
    to restore HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE after restoring nested state
    (and QEMU, for example, does exactly that). To make sure eVMCS is
    mapped /vmx_set_nested_state() raises KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES
    request.
    
    Commit f2c7ef3b ("KVM: nSVM: cancel KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES
    on nested vmexit") added KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES clearing to
    nested_vmx_vmexit() to make sure MSR permission bitmap is not switched
    when an immediate exit from L2 to L1 happens right after migration (caused
    by a pending event, for example). Unfortunately, in the exact same
    situation we still need to have eVMCS mapped so
    nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() reflects changes in VMCS12 to eVMCS.
    
    As a band-aid, restore nested_get_evmcs_page() when clearing
    KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES in nested_vmx_vmexit(). The 'fix' is far
    from being ideal as we can't easily propagate possible failures and even if
    we could, this is most likely already too late to do so. The whole
    'KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES' idea for mapping eVMCS after migration
    seems to be fragile as we diverge too much from the 'native' path when
    vmptr loading happens on vmx_set_nested_state().
    
    Fixes: f2c7ef3b ("KVM: nSVM: cancel KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES on nested vmexit")
