I finally see what you're concerned about. If a CPU goes offline and its assist
page is unmapped, zeroing out the nested/eVMCS stuff will fault.
I think the real problem is that the purging of the eVMCS is in the wrong place.
Move the clearing to vmx_hardware_disable() and then the CPU hotplug bug goes
away once KVM disables hotplug during hardware enabling/disable later in the series.
There's no need to wait until module exit, e.g. it's not like it costs much to
clear a few variables, and IIUC the state is used only when KVM is actively using
VMX/eVMCS.
However, I believe there's a second bug. KVM's CPU online hook is called before
Hyper-V's online hook (CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN). Before this series, which moves KVM's
hook from STARTING to ONLINE, KVM's hook is waaaay before Hyper-V's. That means
that hv_cpu_init()'s allocation of the VP assist page will come _after_ KVM's
check in vmx_hardware_enable()
/*
* This can happen if we hot-added a CPU but failed to allocate
* VP assist page for it.
*/
if (static_branch_unlikely(&enable_evmcs) &&
!hv_get_vp_assist_page(cpu))
return -EFAULT;
I.e. CPU hotplug will never work if KVM is running VMs as a Hyper-V guest. I bet
you can repro by doing a SUSPEND+RESUME.
Can you try to see if that's actually a bug? If so, the only sane fix seems to
be to add a dedicated ONLINE action for Hyper-V. Per patch
KVM: Rename and move CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING to ONLINE section
from this series, CPUHP_AP_KVM_ONLINE needs to be before CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY
to ensure there are no tasks, i.e. no vCPUs, running on the to-be-unplugged CPU.
Back to the original bug, proposed fix is below. The other advantage of moving
the reset to hardware disabling is that the "cleanup" is just disabling the static
key, and at that point can simply be deleted as there's no need to disable the
static key when kvm-intel is unloaded since kvm-intel owns the key. I.e. this
patch (that we're replying to) would get replaced with a patch to delete the
disabling of the static key.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Reset eVMCS controls in VP assist page during
hardware disabling
Reset the eVMCS controls in the per-CPU VP assist page during hardware
disabling instead of waiting until kvm-intel's module exit. The controls
are activated if and only if KVM creates a VM, i.e. don't need to be
reset if hardware is never enabled.
Doing the reset during hardware disabling will naturally fix a potential
NULL pointer deref bug once KVM disables CPU hotplug while enabling and
disabling hardware (which is necessary to fix a variety of bugs). If the
kernel is running as the root partition, the VP assist page is unmapped
during CPU hot unplug, and so KVM's clearing of the eVMCS controls needs
to occur with CPU hot(un)plug disabled, otherwise KVM could attempt to
write to a CPU's VP assist page after it's unmapped.
