And for clarity and safety, I think it would be worth adding the patch below as
a prep patch to document and enforce that walking the non-leaf SPTEs when faulting
in a page should never terminate early.

I'v sent V2 patch which was updated as you suggested.
The patch you provided below doesn't need to be updated. It and my V2 patch
do not depend on each other, so I didn't resent your patch with mine together.

For your patch

Acked-by: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@xxxxxxxxx>

And it can be queued earlier.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Verify shadow walk doesn't terminate early in
page faults

WARN and bail if the shadow walk for faulting in a SPTE terminates early,
i.e. doesn't reach the expected level because the walk encountered a
terminal SPTE. The shadow walks for page faults are subtle in that they
install non-leaf SPTEs (zapping leaf SPTEs if necessary!) in the loop
body, and consume the newly created non-leaf SPTE in the loop control,
e.g. __shadow_walk_next(). In other words, the walks guarantee that the
walk will stop if and only if the target level is reached by installing
non-leaf SPTEs to guarantee the walk remains valid.

Opportunistically use fault->goal-level instead of it.level in
FNAME(fetch) to further clarify that KVM always installs the leaf SPTE at
the target level.
