[PATCH v4 04/26] KVM: nSVM: Always inject a #GP if mapping VMCB12 fails on nested VMRUN

From: Yosry Ahmed

Date: Wed Jan 14 2026 - 20:13:35 EST


nested_svm_vmrun() currently only injects a #GP if kvm_vcpu_map() fails
with -EINVAL. But it could also fail with -EFAULT if creating a host
mapping failed. Inject a #GP in all cases, no reason to treat failure
modes differently.

Fixes: 8c5fbf1a7231 ("KVM/nSVM: Use the new mapping API for mapping guest memory")
