[PATCH 0/4]: KVM: nVMX: VPID optimizations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This series aims to optimize KVM nested-VPID implementation.
Note: All the patches in this series are indepdendent and can be
applied seperately.

1st patch is just a small refactoring change.

2nd patch fixes a corner-case of not failing INVVPID type 0
(individiual-address) in case operand.vpid==0.

3rd patch fixes an ancient issue of unnecessarely flushing TLB when
exiting from L2 to L1 even though TLB entries populated by L2 are
tagged with different VPID (vmx->nested.vpid02) than TLB entries
populated by L1 (vmx->vpid).

4rd patch optimizes L1 INVVPID type 0 (individiual-address) handling
by emulating it with INVVPID type 0 executed at L0 level. This allows
flushing only a single TLB entry tagged with vmx->nested.vpid02
instead of all TLB entries tagged with vmx->nested.vpid02.
