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 commits
989c6b34f6 ("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.
