KVM: Fix mmu_reload() clash with nested vmx event injection
Currently the inject_pending_event() call during guest entry happens after kvm_mmu_reload(). This is for historical reasons - we used to inject_pending_event() in atomic context, while kvm_mmu_reload() needs task context. A problem is that nested vmx can cause the mmu context to be reset, if event injection is intercepted and causes a #VMEXIT instead (the #VMEXIT resets CR0/CR3/CR4). If this happens, we end up with invalid root_hpa, and since kvm_mmu_reload() has already run, no one will fix it and we end up entering the guest this way. Fix by reordering event injection to be before kvm_mmu_reload(). Use ->cancel_injection() to undo if kvm_mmu_reload() fails. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42980 Reported-by: Luke-Jr <luke-jr+linuxbugs@utopios.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
