[PATCH v2 2/8] KVM: SVM: Use kvm_pat_valid() directly instead of kvm_mtrr_valid()

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

 



From: Ke Guo <guoke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use kvm_pat_valid() directly instead of bouncing through kvm_mtrr_valid().
The PAT is not an MTRR, and kvm_mtrr_valid() just redirects to
kvm_pat_valid(), i.e. is exempt from KVM's "zap SPTEs" logic that's
needed to honor guest MTRRs when the VM has a passthrough device with
non-coherent DMA (KVM does NOT set "ignore guest PAT" in this case, and so
enables hardware virtualization of the guest's PAT, i.e. doesn't need to
manually emulate the PAT memtype).
