[PATCH 2/5] KVM: x86/mmu: Map TDP MMU leaf SPTE iff target level is reached

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Mon Dec 12 2022 - 22:30:48 EST


Map the leaf SPTE when handling a TDP MMU page fault if and only if the
target level is reached. A recent commit reworked the retry logic and
incorrectly assumed that walking SPTEs would never "fail", as the loop
either bails (retries) or installs parent SPs. However, the iterator
itself will bail early if it detects a frozen (REMOVED) SPTE when
stepping down. The TDP iterator also rereads the current SPTE before
stepping down specifically to avoid walking into a part of the tree that
is being removed, which means it's possible to terminate the loop without
the guts of the loop observing the frozen SPTE, e.g. if a different task
zaps a parent SPTE between the initial read and try_step_down()'s refresh.

Mapping a leaf SPTE at the wrong level results in all kinds of badness as
page table walkers interpret the SPTE as a page table, not a leaf, and
walk into the weeds.
