v3:
- Removed WARN_ON check.

v2:
- Added WARN_ON check for vnmi pending.
- use `get_vnmi_vmcb` to get correct vmcb so to inject vnmi.

I guess this should be "is_vnmi_enabled(svm) && !svm->nmi_l1_to_l2"
since if nmi_l1_to_l2 is true then the NMI to be injected originally
comes from L1's VMCB12 EVENTINJ field.


Not sure if I understood the case fully.. so trying to sketch scenario here -
if nmi_l1_to_l2 is true then event is coming from EVTINJ. .which could
be one of following case -
1) L0 (vnmi enabled) and L1 (vnmi disabled)

As far as I can see in this case:
is_vnmi_enabled() returns whether VMCB02's int_ctl has V_NMI_ENABLE bit set.


For L1 with vnmi disabled case - is_vnmi_enabled()->get_vnmi_vmcb() will return false so the
execution path will opt EVTINJ model for re-injection.

I guess by "get_vnmi_vmcb() will return false" you mean it will return NULL,
since this function returns a pointer, not a bool.

I can't see however, how this will happen:
static inline struct vmcb *get_vnmi_vmcb(struct vcpu_svm *svm)
{
	if (!vnmi)
		return NULL;
        ^ "vnmi" variable controls whether L0 uses vNMI,
	   so this variable is true in our case


	if (is_guest_mode(&svm->vcpu))
		return svm->nested.vmcb02.ptr;
		^ this should be always non-NULL.

So get_vnmi_vmcb() will return VMCB02 pointer in our case, not NULL...


Thanks,

This field in VMCB02 comes from nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() which
in the !nested_vnmi_enabled() case (L1 is not using vNMI) copies these bits
from VMCB01:
int_ctl_vmcb01_bits |= (V_NMI_PENDING | V_NMI_ENABLE | V_NMI_MASK);

So in this case (L0 uses vNMI) V_NMI_ENABLE will be set in VMCB01, right?

This bit will then be copied to VMCB02

... and due to the above is_vnmi_enabled() will return true, so
re-injection will attempt to use vNMI instead of EVTINJ (wrong).

2) L0 & L1 both vnmi disabled.

This case is ok.


In both cases the vnmi check will fail for L1 and execution path
will fall back to default - right?

Santosh
