I wonder if this change in the CPL saving would have anything to do with the fact that we're doing a CR3 write right before we fail pagetable walk and end up walking a user page table. It could be unrelated though, as in the previous dump I had a get_user right before the #DF. Hmmm. I better go and revert that one and check whether it fixes things. > Need a break, will look into details later. Ok, some more info from my side, see relevant snippet below. We're basically not finding the pte at level 3 during the page walk for 7fff0b0f8908. However, why we're even page walking this userspace address at that point I have no idea. And the CR3 write right before this happens is there so I'm pretty much sure by now that this is related... qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126204: vcpu_match_mmio: gva 0xffffffffff5fd0b0 gpa 0xfee000b0 Write GVA qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126204: kvm_mmio: mmio write len 4 gpa 0xfee000b0 val 0x0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126205: kvm_apic: apic_write APIC_EOI = 0x0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126205: kvm_eoi: apicid 0 vector 253 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126206: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126211: kvm_exit: reason write_cr3 rip 0xffffffff816113a0 info 8000000000000000 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...2 346.126214: kvm_mmu_get_page: sp gen 25 gfn 7b2b1 4 pae q0 wux !nxe root 0 sync existing qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126215: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126216: kvm_exit: reason PF excp rip 0xffffffff816113df info 2 7fff0b0f8908 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126217: kvm_page_fault: address 7fff0b0f8908 error_code 2 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126218: kvm_mmu_pagetable_walk: addr 7fff0b0f8908 pferr 2 W qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126219: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 7b2b6067 level 4 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126220: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 0 level 3 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126220: kvm_mmu_walker_error: pferr 2 W qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126221: kvm_multiple_exception: nr: 14, prev: 255, has_error: 1, error_code: 0x2, reinj: 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126221: kvm_inj_exception: #PF (0x2) qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126222: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126223: kvm_exit: reason PF excp rip 0xffffffff816113df info 2 7fff0b0f8908 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126224: kvm_multiple_exception: nr: 14, prev: 14, has_error: 1, error_code: 0x2, reinj: 1 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126225: kvm_page_fault: address 7fff0b0f8908 error_code 2 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126225: kvm_mmu_pagetable_walk: addr 7fff0b0f8908 pferr 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126226: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 7b2b6067 level 4 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126227: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 0 level 3 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126227: kvm_mmu_walker_error: pferr 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126228: kvm_mmu_pagetable_walk: addr 7fff0b0f8908 pferr 2 W qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126229: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 7b2b6067 level 4 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126230: kvm_mmu_paging_element: pte 0 level 3 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126230: kvm_mmu_walker_error: pferr 2 W qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126231: kvm_multiple_exception: nr: 14, prev: 14, has_error: 1, error_code: 0x2, reinj: 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126231: kvm_inj_exception: #DF (0x0) qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126232: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126371: kvm_exit: reason io rip 0xffffffff8131e623 info 3d40220 ffffffff8131e625 qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126372: kvm_pio: pio_write at 0x3d4 size 2 count 1 val 0x130e qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] ...1 346.126374: kvm_userspace_exit: reason KVM_EXIT_IO (2) qemu-system-x86-5007 [007] d..2 346.126383: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
