[PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: x86/mmu: add a new mmu zap helper to indicate memtype changes

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

 



Add a helper to indicate that the kvm_zap_gfn_range() request is to update
memory type.

Then the zap can be avoided in cases:
1. TDP is not enabled.
2. EPT is not enabled.

This is because only memory type of EPT leaf entries are subjected to
change when noncoherent DMA/guest CR0.CD/guest MTRR settings change.
