Whenever we get an -EFAULT, we failed to read in guest 2 physical address space. Such addressing exceptions are reported via a program intercept to the nested hypervisor.
We faked the intercept, we have to return to guest 2. Instead, right now we would be returning -EFAULT from the intercept handler, eventually crashing the VM.
Addressing exceptions can only happen if the g2->g3 page tables reference invalid g2 addresses (say, either a table or the final page is not accessible - so something that basically never happens in sane environments.
Identified by manual code inspection.

so, the reason why we never noticed this issue before is simply that nobody tried running a misbehaving nested guest?

Yes, actually, a misbehaving nested hypervisor.
