While KVM's MMU should be fully reset by loading of nested CR0/CR3/CR4 by KVM_SET_SREGS, we are not in nested mode yet when we do it and therefore only root_mmu is reset. On regular nested entries we call nested_svm_load_cr3 which both updates the guest's CR3 in the MMU when it is needed, and it also initializes the mmu again which makes it initialize the walk_mmu as well when nested paging is enabled in both host and guest. Since we don't call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load, the walk_mmu can be left uninitialized, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference while accessing it if we happen to get a nested page fault right after entering the nested guest first time after the migration and we decide to emulate it, which leads to the emulator trying to access walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa which is NULL. Therefore we should call this function on nested state load as well.

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.
