[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Handle non-present PTEs in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault()

From: David Gibson
Date: Wed Apr 15 2020 - 23:54:16 EST


Since cd758a9b57ee "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT
page fault handler", it's been possible in fairly rare circumstances to
load a non-present PTE in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() when running a
guest on a POWER8 host.

Because that case wasn't checked for, we could misinterpret the non-present
PTE as being a cache-inhibited PTE. That could mismatch with the
corresponding hash PTE, which would cause the function to fail with -EFAULT
a little further down. That would propagate up to the KVM_RUN ioctl()
generally causing the KVM userspace (usually qemu) to fall over.

This addresses the problem by catching that case and returning to the guest
instead.
