Commit a6f177ef ("KVM: Reenter guest after emulation failure if due to access to non-mmio address") added reexecute_instruction() to handle the scenario where two (or more) vCPUS race to write a shadowed page, i.e. reexecute_instruction() is intended to return true if and only if the instruction being emulated was accessing a shadowed page. As L0 is only explicitly shadowing L1 tables, an emulation failure of a nested VM instruction cannot be due to a race to write a shadowed page and so should never be re-executed. This fixes an issue where an "MMIO" emulation failure[1] in L2 is all but guaranteed to result in an infinite loop when TDP is enabled. Because "cr2" is actually an L2 GPA when TDP is enabled, calling kvm_mmu_gva_to_gpa_write() to translate cr2 in the non-direct mapped case (L2 is never direct mapped) will almost always yield UNMAPPED_GVA and cause reexecute_instruction() to immediately return true. The !mmio_info_in_cache() check in kvm_mmu_page_fault() doesn't catch this case because mmio_info_in_cache() returns false for a nested MMU (the MMIO caching currently handles L1 only, e.g. to cache nested guests' GPAs we'd have to manually flush the cache when switching between VMs and when L1 updated its page tables controlling the nested guest). Way back when, commit 68be0803 ("KVM: x86: never re-execute instruction with enabled tdp") changed reexecute_instruction() to always return false when using TDP under the assumption that KVM would only get into the emulator for MMIO. Commit 95b3cf69 ("KVM: x86: let reexecute_instruction work for tdp") effectively reverted that behavior in order to handle the scenario where emulation failed due to an access from L1 to the shadow page tables for L2, but it didn't account for the case where emulation failed in L2 with TDP enabled. All of the above logic also applies to retry_instruction(), added by commit 1cb3f3ae ("KVM: x86: retry non-page-table writing instructions"). An indefinite loop in retry_instruction() should be impossible as it protects against retrying the same instruction over and over, but it's still correct to not retry an L2 instruction in the first place. Fix the immediate issue by adding a check for a nested guest when determining whether or not to allow retry in kvm_mmu_page_fault(). In addition to fixing the immediate bug, add WARN_ON_ONCE in the retry functions since they are not designed to handle nested cases, i.e. they need to be modified even if there is some scenario in the future where we want to allow retrying a nested guest. [1] This issue was encountered after commit 3a2936de ("kvm: mmu: Don't expose private memslots to L2") changed the page fault path to return KVM_PFN_NOSLOT when translating an L2 access to a prive memslot. Returning KVM_PFN_NOSLOT is semantically correct when we want to hide a memslot from L2, i.e. there effectively is no defined memory region for L2, but it has the unfortunate side effect of making KVM think the GFN is a MMIO page, thus triggering emulation. The failure occurred with in-development code that deliberately exposed a private memslot to L2, which L2 accessed with an instruction that is not emulated by KVM.
