[PATCH 7/7] KVM: nVMX: WARN on attempt to switch the currently loaded VMCS

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Jul 15 2020 - 00:06:15 EST


WARN if KVM attempts to switch to the currently loaded VMCS. Now that
nested_vmx_free_vcpu() doesn't blindly call vmx_switch_vmcs(), all paths
that lead to vmx_switch_vmcs() are implicitly guarded by guest vs. host
mode, e.g. KVM should never emulate VMX instructions when guest mode is
active, and nested_vmx_vmexit() should never be called when host mode is
active.
