    KVM: x86/mmu: WARN on an invalid root_hpa · 0c7a98e3

    WARN on the existing invalid root_hpa checks in __direct_map() and
    FNAME(fetch).  The "legitimate" path that invalidated root_hpa in the
    middle of a page fault is long since gone, i.e. it should no longer be
    impossible to invalidate in the middle of a page fault[*].
    
    The root_hpa checks were added by two related commits
    
      989c6b34 ("KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map")
      37f6a4e2 ("KVM: x86: handle invalid root_hpa everywhere")
    
    to fix a bug where nested_vmx_vmexit() could be called *in the middle*
    of a page fault.  At the time, vmx_interrupt_allowed(), which was and
    still is used by kvm_can_do_async_pf() via ->interrupt_allowed(),
    directly invoked nested_vmx_vmexit() to switch from L2 to L1 to emulate
    a VM-Exit on a pending interrupt.  Emulating the nested VM-Exit resulted
    in root_hpa being invalidated by kvm_mmu_reset_context() without
    explicitly terminating the page fault.
    
    Now that root_hpa is checked for validity by kvm_mmu_page_fault(), WARN
    on an invalid root_hpa to detect any flows that reset the MMU while
    handling a page fault.  The broken vmx_interrupt_allowed() behavior has
    long since been fixed and resetting the MMU during a page fault should
    not be considered legal behavior.
    
    [*] It's actually technically possible in FNAME(page_fault)() because it
        calls inject_page_fault() when the guest translation is invalid, but
        in that case the page fault handling is immediately terminated.
