Subject[PATCH v3] KVM: MMU: Fix guest stuck during boot due to read/write emulation against GVA
Message-ID<udbVE-7y-23@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

Commit c016004494b0 (KVM: x86: Avoid guest page table walk when gpa_available 
is set) avoids the page table walk when cr2 has already contained a valid GPA. 
However, that is not the truth if ept == 0 and shadow page table is used. In 
this scenario cr2 can just contains a valid GVA. The commit results in guest 
stuck during boot due to read/write emulation against GVA instead of GPA of 
the guest.

This patch fixes it by setting the gpa_available flag under direct mode.

A GVA or a nested GPA, more precisely.
