[PATCH] KVM: nSVM: call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load

From: Maxim Levitsky
Date: Wed Feb 10 2021 - 11:01:26 EST


While KVM's MMU should be fully reset by loading of nested CR0/CR3/CR4
by KVM_SET_SREGS, we are not in nested mode yet when we do it and therefore
only root_mmu is reset.

On regular nested entries we call nested_svm_load_cr3 which both updates the
guest's CR3 in the MMU when it is needed, and it also initializes
the mmu again which makes it initialize the walk_mmu as well when nested
paging is enabled in both host and guest.

Since we don't call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load,
the walk_mmu can be left uninitialized, which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference while accessing it if we happen to get a nested page fault
right after entering the nested guest first time after the migration and
we decide to emulate it, which leads to emulator trying to access
walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa which is NULL.

Therefore we should call this function on nested state load as well.
