[PATCH 1/2] KVM: MMU: Fix infinite loop when there is no available mmu page

From: Wanpeng Li

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The below test case can cause infinite loop in kvm when ept=0.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

long r[5];
int main()
{
r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY);
r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 7);
ioctl(r[4], KVM_RUN, 0);
}

It doesn't setup the memory regions, mmu_alloc_shadow/direct_roots() in
kvm return 1 when kvm fails to allocate root page table which can result
in beblow infinite loop:

vcpu_run() {
for (;;) {
r = vcpu_enter_guest()::kvm_mmu_reload() returns 1
if (r <= 0)
break;
if (need_resched())
cond_resched();
}
}

This patch fixes it by returning -ENOSPC when there is no available kvm mmu
page for root page table.
