[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: replace kvm_vcpu_map usage in vmx

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

 



From: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This series replaces the usage of kvm_vcpu_map in vmx with
gfn_to_pfn_cache. See [1] for details on why kvm_vcpu_map is broken.

The presence of kvm_vcpu_map blocks another series I would like to
try to merge [2]. Although I'm not familiar with the internals of vmx,
I've gone ahead and taken a stab at this cleanup. I've done some manual
testing with nested VMs, and KVM selftests pass, but thorough feedback
would be appreciated. Once this cleanup is done, I'll take a look at
removing kvm_vcpu_map from svm.
