Re: [PATCH v5 3/3] KVM: nVMX: Fix mmu context after VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure

[Jim Mattson <jmattson@google.com>]

I realize now that this fix isn't quite right, since it loads
vmcs12->host_cr3 rather than reverting to the CR3 that was loaded at the
time of VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME. In the case of VMfailValid(VM entry with invalid
VMX-control field(s)), none of the VMCS12 host state fields should be
loaded. See the pseudocode for VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME in volume 3 of the SDM.
