From d6e656cd266cdcc95abd372c7faef05bee271d1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 22:05:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: WARN on any attempt to allocate shadow VMCS for vmcs02 WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a shadow VMCS for vmcs02. KVM emulates VMCS shadowing but doesn't virtualize it, i.e. KVM should never allocate a "real" shadow VMCS for L2. The previous code WARNed but continued anyway with the allocation, presumably in an attempt to avoid NULL pointer dereference. However, alloc_vmcs (and hence alloc_shadow_vmcs) can fail, and indeed the sole caller does: if (enable_shadow_vmcs && !alloc_shadow_vmcs(vcpu)) goto out_shadow_vmcs; which makes it not a useful attempt.
