[PATCH v3 26/37] KVM: nVMX: Selectively use TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT for nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit

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

 



Flush only the current context, as opposed to all contexts, when
requesting a TLB flush to handle the scenario where a L1 does not expect
a TLB flush, but one is required because L1 and L2 shared an ASID.  This
occurs if EPT is disabled (no per-EPTP tag), VPID is enabled (hardware
doesn't flush unconditionally) and vmcs02 does not have its own VPID due
to exhaustion of available VPIDs.
