From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> For shadow paging, the pae_root needs to be reconstructed before the coming VMENTER if the guest PDPTEs is changed. But not all paths that call load_pdptrs() will cause the pae_root to be reconstructed. Normally, kvm_mmu_reset_context() and kvm_mmu_free_roots() are used to launch later reconstruction. The commit d81135a57aa6("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and CR0.NW are changed") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs() when changing CR0.CD and CR0.NW. The commit 21823fbda552("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the current PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") skips kvm_mmu_free_roots() after load_pdptrs() when rewriting the CR3 with the same value. The commit a91a7c709600("KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when toggling X86_CR4_PGE") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs() when changing CR4.PGE. Guests like linux would keep the PDPTEs unchanged for every instance of pagetable, so this missing reconstruction has no problem for linux guests.
