Hi Avi, here is a updated version of the loaded_vmcs patch which you asked me
to send before the rest of the nvmx patches.
Please let me know when you'd like me to send you an updated version of
the rest of the patches.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [PATCH 01/31] nVMX: Keep list of loaded VMCSs, instead of vcpus.
In VMX, before we bring down a CPU we must VMCLEAR all VMCSs loaded on it
because (at least in theory) the processor might not have written all of its
content back to memory. Since a patch from June 26, 2008, this is done using
a per-cpu "vcpus_on_cpu" linked list of vcpus loaded on each CPU.
The problem is that with nested VMX, we no longer have the concept of a
vcpu being loaded on a cpu: A vcpu has multiple VMCSs (one for L1, a pool for
L2s), and each of those may be have been last loaded on a different cpu.
So instead of linking the vcpus, we link the VMCSs, using a new structure
loaded_vmcs. This structure contains the VMCS, and the information pertaining
to its loading on a specific cpu (namely, the cpu number, and whether it
was already launched on this cpu once). In nested we will also use the same
structure to hold L2 VMCSs, and vmx->loaded_vmcs is a pointer to the
currently active VMCS.
