    kvm: nVMX: Handle deferred early VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure properly · 4f350c6d
    Jim Mattson authored
    When emulating a nested VM-entry from L1 to L2, several control field
    validation checks are deferred to the hardware. Should one of these
    validation checks fail, vcpu_vmx_run will set the vmx->fail flag. When
    this happens, the L2 guest state is not loaded (even in part), and
    execution should continue in L1 with the next instruction after the
    VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.
    
    The VMCS12 is not modified (except for the VM-instruction error
    field), the VMCS12 MSR save/load lists are not processed, and the CPU
    state is not loaded from the VMCS12 host area. Moreover, the vmcs02
    exit reason is stale, so it should not be consulted for any reason.
