This gives the reader a false impression that the return value is
actually reflected in the exit reason If anything I would change those
to -EINVAL, similar to what you did in patch 4 (but without applying
patch 3 which, as I understand it, is mostly a "trick" to make this
patch less verbose).

Good point, though IMO it'd be better to go one step further and actually
consume the return value in nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode().  For me,
having the exit reason in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_postreqs() is a nice
mental reminder that "postreqs" is referring to checks that happen once
the CPU has "committed" to VM-Enter.

What about the attached patch as fixup?

It's certainly better if you don't have to return
VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY.  However, I think it still complicates
things a bit, after all the result is always EXIT_REASON_INVALID_STATE.

The SDM says "VM-entry failure due to invalid guest state. A VM entry
failed one of the checks identified in Section 26.3.1" so the bool (or
0/-EINVAL) return code is a nice reminder that the function covers a
subset of 26.3.1.

Heh, for me, returning EXIT_REASON_INVALID_STATE is the reminder that
the function covers 26.3.1.

What if we rename the function to nested_vmx_check_vmentry_guest_state()?
My desire to return the exit reason mostly stems from the name "postreqs"
since I tend to forget what "postreqs" is referring to.  And it'd be more
appropriate since the MSR load checks are handled elsewhere and really
should be considered "postreqs" as well.

I think the cleaner approach would be to return -EINVAL in both 
*_pre{post}reqs functions and carry the exit code via a new function 
parameter. That will make the code more readable.

May be we should also rename its counterpart 
(i.e.,nested_vmx_check_vmentry_prereqs) to something like 
nested_vmx_check_vmentry_pre_guest_state or something similar ?

The SDM doesn't explicitly mention whether MSR loading happens right 
after guest state is loaded, though it seems that's the order. If so, we 
should probably put these checks in function called 
nested_vmx_check_vmentry_msr_load or something like that.

I think we should have three functions
nested_vmx_vmentry_check_{controls,host_state,guest_state}.

Four if you count nested_vmx_load_msr().  But anyways, I agree.

On a related subject, an invalid guest activity state results in a VM-Exit,
not VM-Fail, i.e. nested_check_guest_non_reg_state() belongs in
nested_vmx_check_vmentry_postreqs().  Moving that code to its proper
location would eliminate the last odditiy for renaming "postreqs" to
nested_vmx_vmentry_check_guest_state().

I'll send a series, including patches 1 and 2 (the PAT checks) from
Krish's series?
