WARN on the existing invalid root_hpa checks in __direct_map() and FNAME(fetch). The "legitimate" path that invalidated root_hpa in the middle of a page fault is long since gone, i.e. it should no longer be impossible to invalidate in the middle of a page fault[*]. The root_hpa checks were added by two related commits989c6b34f6("KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map")37f6a4e237("KVM: x86: handle invalid root_hpa everywhere") to fix a bug where nested_vmx_vmexit() could be called *in the middle* of a page fault. At the time, vmx_interrupt_allowed(), which was and still is used by kvm_can_do_async_pf() via ->interrupt_allowed(), directly invoked nested_vmx_vmexit() to switch from L2 to L1 to emulate a VM-Exit on a pending interrupt. Emulating the nested VM-Exit resulted in root_hpa being invalidated by kvm_mmu_reset_context() without explicitly terminating the page fault. Now that root_hpa is checked for validity by kvm_mmu_page_fault(), WARN on an invalid root_hpa to detect any flows that reset the MMU while handling a page fault. The broken vmx_interrupt_allowed() behavior has long since been fixed and resetting the MMU during a page fault should not be considered legal behavior. [*] It's actually technically possible in FNAME(page_fault)() because it calls inject_page_fault() when the guest translation is invalid, but in that case the page fault handling is immediately terminated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
