[PATCH v2 00/32] KVM: x86: TLB flushing fixes and enhancements

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

 



This is "v2" of the VMX TLB flushing cleanup series, but over 70% of the
patches are new in v2.  The new growth stems from two related revelations:

  1) Nested VMX doesn't properly flush all ASIDs/contexts on system events,
     e.g. on mmu_notifier invalidate all contexts for L1 *and* L2 need to
     be invalidated, but KVM generally only flushes L1 or L2 (or just L1).

  2) #1 is largely benign because nested VMX always flushes the new
     context on nested VM-Entry/VM-Exit.

High level overview:

  a) Fix the main TLB flushing bug with a big hammer.

  b) Fix a few other flushing related bugs.

  c) Clean up vmx_tlb_flush(), i.e. what was v1 of this series.

  d) Reintroduce current-ASID/context flushing to regain some of the
     precision that got blasted away by the big hammer in #1.

  e) Fix random code paths that unnecessarily trigger TLB flushes on
     nested VMX transitions.

  f) Stop flushing on every nested VMX transition.


v2:
  - Basically a new series.

v1:
