[PATCH v3 34/37] KVM: nVMX: Don't flush TLB on nested VMX transition

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

 



Unconditionally skip the TLB flush triggered when reusing a root for a
nested transition as nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush() ensures the TLB
is flushed when needed, regardless of whether the MMU can reuse a cached
root (or the last root).
