I wonder if it makes sense to rename vm_function_control to
- vmfunc_control
- vmfunc_controls (so it matches nested_vmx_vmfunc_controls)
- vmfunc_ctrl

"... instruction causes a VM exit if the bit at position EAX is 0 in the
VM-function controls (the selected VM function is
not enabled)."

So g2 can trigger this WARN_ON_ONCE, no? I think we should drop it then
completely.

I can find the definition for an vmexit in case of index >=
VMFUNC_EPTP_ENTRIES, but not for !vmcs12->eptp_list_address in the SDM.

Can you give me a hint?

Can you move that check to the other address checks below? (or rework if
this make sense, see below)

Couldn't the pfn still be invalid and make kvm_mmu_reload() fail?
(triggering a KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT)

I was thinking about something like this:

kvm_mmu_unload(vcpu);
old = vmcs12->ept_pointer;
vmcs12->ept_pointer = address;
if (kvm_mmu_reload(vcpu)) {
/* pointer invalid, restore previous state */
kvm_clear_request(KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, vcpu);
vmcs12->ept_pointer = old;
kvm_mmu_reload(vcpu);
goto fail;
}

The you can inherit the checks from mmu_check_root().


Wonder why I can't spot checks for cpuid_maxphyaddr() /
IS_ALIGNED(address, 4096) for ordinary use of vmcs12->ept_pointer. The
checks should be identical.

shouldn't the kunmap + nested_release_page_clean go outside the if clause?

David and mmu code are not yet best friends. So sorry if I am missing
something.
