However, nested_vmx_exit_handled is always returning true for preemption timer vmexit. Then, the L1 preemption timer vmexit is captured and be treated as a L2 preemption timer vmexit, causing NULL pointer dereferences or worse in the L1 guest's vmexit handler: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [< (null)>] (null) PGD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP Call Trace: ? kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer+0x47/0x90 [kvm] handle_preemption_timer+0xe/0x20 [kvm_intel] vmx_handle_exit+0x169/0x15a0 [kvm_intel] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xdee/0x19d0 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] ? vcpu_load+0x1c/0x60 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x57/0x260 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x2d3/0x7c0 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x6a0 ? __fget_light+0x2a/0x90 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x68/0x180 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 Code: Bad RIP value. RIP [< (null)>] (null) RSP CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace 9c70c48b1a2bc66e ]--- This can be reproduced readily by preemption timer enabled on L0 and disabled on L1. Return false since preemption timer vmexits must never be reflected to L2.
