[PATCH v2 1/4] KVM: x86: move the event handling of KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES into a common function

From: Mingwei Zhang
Date: Sun Aug 28 2022 - 18:25:57 EST


Create a common function to handle kvm request in the vcpu_run loop. KVM
implicitly assumes the virtual APIC page being present + mapped into the
kernel address space when executing vmx_guest_apic_has_interrupts().
However, with demand paging KVM breaks the assumption, as the
KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES event isn't assessed before entering vcpu_block.

Fix this by getting vmcs12 pages before inspecting the guest's APIC page.
Because of this fix, the event handling code of
KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES becomes a common code path for both
vcpu_enter_guest() and vcpu_block(). Thus, put this code snippet into a
common helper function to avoid code duplication.
