[PATCH 2/8] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't do TLB flush when zappings SPTEs in invalid roots

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

 



Don't force a TLB flush when zapping SPTEs in invalid roots as vCPUs
can't be actively using invalid roots (zapping SPTEs in invalid roots is
necessary only to ensure KVM doesn't mark a page accessed/dirty after it
is freed by the primary MMU).
