The "vmxon_pa == vmcs12_pa == -1ull" test happens to work by accident: as Enlightened VMCS is always supported, set_default_vmx_state() adds 'KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS' to 'flags' and the following branch of vmx_set_nested_state() is executed: if ((kvm_state->flags & KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS) && (!guest_can_use(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_VMX) || !vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled)) return -EINVAL; as 'enlightened_vmcs_enabled' is false. In fact, "vmxon_pa == vmcs12_pa == -1ull" is a valid state when not tainted by wrong flags so the test should aim for this branch: if (kvm_state->hdr.vmx.vmxon_pa == INVALID_GPA) return 0; Test all this properly: - Without KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS in the flags, the expected return value is '0'. - With KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS flag (when supported) set, the expected return value is '-EINVAL' prior to enabling eVMCS and '0' after.
