I find this rather clunky. The common pattern is that a function returns
early when it encounters an error, but here this pattern is reversed:
-EINVAL means that handle_wfx_nested() failed in handling the WFx, so
proceed as usual; conversly, anything but -EINVAL means handle_wfx_nested()
was successful in handling WFx, so exit early from kvm_handle_wfx().

That would be ok by itself, but if we dig deeper, handle_wfx_nested() ends up
calling kvm_inject_nested(), where -EINVAL is actually an error code. Granted,
that should never happen, because kvm_handle_wfx() first checks vcpu_has_nv(),
but still feels like something that could be improved.

Maybe changing handle_wfx_nested() like this would be better:

 {
        u64 hcr_el2 = __vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, HCR_EL2);
 
+       *error = 0;
        if (vcpu_is_el2(vcpu))
-               return -EINVAL;
+               return false;
 
-       if ((is_wfe && (hcr_el2 & HCR_TWE)) || (!is_wfe && (hcr_el2 & HCR_TWI)))
-               return kvm_inject_nested_sync(vcpu, kvm_vcpu_get_esr(vcpu));
+       if ((is_wfe && (hcr_el2 & HCR_TWE)) || (!is_wfe && (hcr_el2 & HCR_TWI))) {
+               *error = kvm_inject_nested_sync(vcpu, kvm_vcpu_get_esr(vcpu));
+               return true;
+       }
 
-       return -EINVAL;
+       return false;
 }

Now the return value means one thing only (did handle_wfx_nested() handle
the trap?) and we still capture the error code.

Or perhaps folding handle_wfx_nested() into kvm_handle_wfx() would be
preferable.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Alex
