Thanks!
This is better.

Could we still keep tdx_flush_tlb_current()?
Though both tdx_flush_tlb_all() and tdx_flush_tlb_current() simply invoke
ept_sync_global(), their purposes are different:

- The ept_sync_global() in tdx_flush_tlb_current() is intended to avoid
  retrieving private EPTP required for the single-context invalidation for
  shared EPT;
- while the ept_sync_global() in tdx_flush_tlb_all() is right for shared EPT.

Adding a tdx_flush_tlb_current() can help document the differences in tdx.c.

like this:

void tdx_flush_tlb_current(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
        /*
         * flush_tlb_current() is invoked when the first time for the vcpu to
         * run or when root of shared EPT is invalidated.
         * KVM only needs to flush the TLB for shared EPT because the TDX module
         * handles TLB invalidation for private EPT in tdh_vp_enter();
         *
         * A single context invalidation for shared EPT can be performed here.
         * However, this single context invalidation requires the private EPTP
         * rather than the shared EPTP to flush TLB for shared EPT, as shared
         * EPT uses private EPTP as its ASID for TLB invalidation.
         *
         * To avoid reading back private EPTP, perform a global invalidation for
         * shared EPT instead to keep this function simple.
         */
        ept_sync_global();
}

void tdx_flush_tlb_all(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
        /*
         * TDX has called tdx_track() in tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() to
         * ensure that private EPT will be flushed on the next TD enter. No need
         * to call tdx_track() here again even when this callback is a result of

         *

         */
        ept_sync_global();
}

Got it!
