Would sev.c needs a NULL check for?

sev_migrate_from()
...
src_vcpu = kvm_get_vcpu(src_kvm, i);
src_svm = to_svm(src_vcpu);
...

Nope, sev_check_source_vcpus() verifies the source and destination have the same
number of online vCPUs before calling sev_migrate_from(), and it's all done with
both VMs locked.

static int sev_check_source_vcpus(struct kvm *dst, struct kvm *src)
{
struct kvm_vcpu *src_vcpu;
unsigned long i;

if (!sev_es_guest(src))
return 0;

if (atomic_read(&src->online_vcpus) != atomic_read(&dst->online_vcpus))
return -EINVAL;

kvm_for_each_vcpu(i, src_vcpu, src) {
if (!src_vcpu->arch.guest_state_protected)
return -EINVAL;
}

return 0;
}

Yes, right!

Thanks,
