[PATCH v3 3/6] KVM: x86/mmu: explicitly check nx_hugepage in disallowed_hugepage_adjust()

From: Mingwei Zhang
Date: Fri Apr 01 2022 - 02:37:10 EST


Explicitly check if a NX huge page is disallowed when determining if a page
fault needs to be forced to use a smaller sized page. KVM incorrectly
assumes that the NX huge page mitigation is the only scenario where KVM
will create a shadow page instead of a huge page. Any scenario that causes
KVM to zap leaf SPTEs may result in having a SP that can be made huge
without violating the NX huge page mitigation. E.g. disabling of dirty
logging, zapping from mmu_notifier due to page migration, guest MTRR
changes that affect the viability of a huge page, etc...

Fixes: b8e8c8303ff2 ("kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigation")
