[PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Assume TLB entries of L1 and L2 are tagged differently if L0 use EPT

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

 



Since commit 1313cc2bd8f6 ("kvm: mmu: Add guest_mode to kvm_mmu_page_role"),
guest_mode was added to mmu-role and therefore if L0 use EPT, it will
always run L1 and L2 with different EPTP. i.e. EPTP01!=EPTP02.

Because TLB entries are tagged with EP4TA, KVM can assume
TLB entries populated while running L2 are tagged differently
than TLB entries populated while running L1.

Therefore, update nested_has_guest_tlb_tag() to consider if
L0 use EPT instead of if L1 use EPT.
