[PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't WARN on a NULL shadow page in TDP MMU check

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jun 22 2021 - 03:25:02 EST


Treat a NULL shadow page in the "is a TDP MMU" check as valid, non-TDP
root. KVM uses a "direct" PAE paging MMU when TDP is disabled and the
guest is running with paging disabled. In that case, root_hpa points at
the pae_root page (of which only 32 bytes are used), not a standard
shadow page, and the WARN fires (a lot).
