[PATCH 0/2] KVM: nVMX: fix lifetime issues for vmcs02 and shadow VMCS

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Jul 21 2014 - 08:34:29 EST


I think that commit 26a865f4aa8e (KVM: VMX: fix use after free of
vmx->loaded_vmcs, 2014-01-03) was wrong, as it introduced a use of
a dangling vmcs02.

The first patch introduces what I think is the right fix, while the
second patch strengthens the invariants around nested_release_vmcs12.

Paolo Bonzini (2):
KVM: nVMX: fix lifetime issues for vmcs02
KVM: nVMX: clean up nested_release_vmcs12 and code around it
