[PATCH 2/5] KVM: x86/mmu: Harden new PGD against roots without shadow pages

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jul 21 2023 - 21:24:07 EST


Harden kvm_mmu_new_pgd() against NULL pointer dereference bugs by sanity
checking that the target root has an associated shadow page prior to
dereferencing said shadow page. The code in question is guaranteed to
only see roots with shadow pages as fast_pgd_switch() explicitly frees the
current root if it doesn't have a shadow page, i.e. is a PAE root, and
that in turn prevents valid roots from being cached, but that's all very
subtle.
