Syzbot reports the following issue:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6819 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:618

'exception' we're trying to inject with kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault()
comes from:
nested_vmx_get_vmptr()
kvm_read_guest_virt()
kvm_read_guest_virt_helper()
vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa()
but it is only set when GVA to GPA conversion fails. In case it doesn't but
we still fail kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page(), X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is returned and
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() calls kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault() with zeroed
'exception'. This happen when the argument is MMIO.
Paolo also noticed that nested_vmx_get_vmptr() is not the only place in
KVM code where kvm_read/write_guest_virt*() return result is mishandled.
VMX instructions along with INVPCID have the same issue. This was already
noticed before, e.g. see commit

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.
