This doesn't seem right to me. On the target of a live migration, with
L2 active at the time the snapshot was taken (i.e.,
vmx->nested.nested_run_pending=0), it looks like we're going to try to
overwrite the current L2 PKRS value with L1's PKRS value (except that
in this situation, vmx->nested.vmcs01_guest_pkrs should actually be
0). Am I missing something?


We overwrite the L2 PKRS with L1's value when L2 doesn't support PKS.
Because the L1's VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PKRS is off, we need to migrate L1's
PKRS to L2.

I'm thinking of the case where vmx->nested.nested_run_pending is
false, and we are processing a KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE ioctl, yet
VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PKRS *is* set in the vmcs12.


Oh, I miss this case. What I'm still confused here is that the restoration for GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL and GUEST_BNDCFGS have the same issue, right? or I miss something.
