If allocation or\nregistration fails, mshv_vtl_configure_reg_page() warns and leaves that\nCPU's reg_page NULL, but initial context setup continues successfully.\nMeanwhile, successful setup on another CPU sets the global\nmshv_has_reg_page flag.\n\nmshv_vtl_fault() checks this global flag before selecting the requested\nCPU's register page. With mixed setup results across online CPUs, the\ncheck passes even for a CPU with no register page, reaching\nget_page(NULL) when userspace faults in that mapping.\n\nCheck the selected per-CPU register page before taking its reference and\nreturn VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if it is absent."
