Unlike regular set_current_vmptr(), nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() can not be called directly from vmx_set_nested_state() as KVM may not have all the information yet (e.g. HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE MSR may not be restored yet). Enlightened VMCS is mapped later while getting nested state pages. In the meantime, vmx->nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr remains 'EVMPTR_INVALID' and it's indistinguishable from 'evmcs is not in use' case. This leads to certain issues, in particular, if KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE is called right after KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE, KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS flag in the resulting state will be unset (and such state will later fail to load). Introduce 'EVMPTR_MAP_PENDING' state to detect not-yet-mapped eVMCS after restore. With this, the 'is_guest_mode(vcpu)' hack in vmx_has_valid_vmcs12() is no longer needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
