Subject: KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 989c6b34f6a9480e397b170cc62237e89bf4fdb9 upstream.
It is possible for __direct_map to be called on invalid root_hpa
(-1), two examples:
1) try_async_pf -> can_do_async_pf
-> vmx_interrupt_allowed -> nested_vmx_vmexit
2) vmx_handle_exit -> vmx_interrupt_allowed -> nested_vmx_vmexit
Then to load_vmcs12_host_state and kvm_mmu_reset_context.
Check for this possibility, let fault exception be regenerated.
