Subject: Coverity: handle_vmclear(): Error handling issues
Hello!
This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221201 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

55d2375e58a6 ("KVM: nVMX: Move nested code to dedicated files")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1527765: Error handling issues (CHECKED_RETURN)
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:5269 in handle_vmclear()

5264 if (likely(!guest_cpuid_has_evmcs(vcpu) ||
5265 !evmptr_is_valid(nested_get_evmptr(vcpu)))) {
5266 if (vmptr == vmx->nested.current_vmptr)
5267 nested_release_vmcs12(vcpu);
5268
vvv CID 1527765: Error handling issues (CHECKED_RETURN)
vvv Calling "kvm_vcpu_write_guest" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 7 out of 8 times).

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
