On AMD processors, in PAE 32bit mode, nested KVM instances don't
work. The L0 host get a kernel OOPS, which is related to
arch.mmu->pae_root being NULL.

The reason for this is that when setting up nested KVM instance,
arch.mmu is set to &arch.guest_mmu (while normally, it would be
&arch.root_mmu). However, the initialization and allocation of
pae_root only creates it in root_mmu. KVM code (ie. in
mmu_alloc_shadow_roots) then accesses arch.mmu->pae_root, which is the
unallocated arch.guest_mmu->pae_root.

This fix just allocates (and frees) pae_root in both guest_mmu and
root_mmu (and also lm_root if it was allocated). The allocation is
subject to previous restrictions ie. it won't allocate anything on
64-bit and AFAIK not on Intel.

See bug 203923 for details.

The date on the message is "Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2019 19:42:04 +0200" and I
got a bit confused at first.

MMU switch to guest_mmu happens when we're about to start L2 guest - and
we switch back to root_mmu when we want to execute L1 again (e.g. after
vmexit) so this is not a one-time thing ('when setting up nested KVM
instance' makes me think so).

Right, it is only NPT 32 bit which uses that (and it's definitely
undertested).

Personally, I'd prefer this to be full link
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203923
as there are multiple bugzillas out threre.

This is weird. I always thought "Signed-off-by" implies some form of
testing (unless stated otherwise) :-)

(personal preference) here you're just jumping over 'return' so I'd
prefer this to be written as:

        ret = alloc_mmu_pages(vcpu, &vcpu->arch.root_mmu);
        if (!ret)
            return 0;
 
        free_mmu_pages(&vcpu->arch.guest_mmu);
        return ret;

and no label/goto required.

Or alternatively:

	ret = alloc_mmu_pages(vcpu, &vcpu->arch.root_mmu);
	if (ret)
		free_mmu_pages(&vcpu->arch.guest_mmu);

	return ret;

since error handling is usually *not* the fall through path.

Well, I thought it was quite common that someone authors a patch but
doesn't have means to test it. Anyway, after reading Kernel Newbies, I
added that to indicate that I did test it and if there's need to test
anything reasonably sized on this particualr configuration, I'm open for it.

OK I'll change it. However, I like the solution by Sean Christopherson more.

Not being able to test a patch isn't uncommon in the absolute sense, but
it's certainly uncommon when viewed as a percentage of the total number of
patches sent to LKML.  A SoB is generally taken to imply basic functional
testing unless otherwise stated, e.g. most folks add a note in the cover
letter or patch comment when something has only been compile tested or not
tested at all.
