[PATCH] KVM: VMX: call invvpid only when EPT is disabled

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

 



From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxx>

With EPT enabled it is not required to explicitly run invvpid to invalidate tagged TLB entries, as
KVM does not force vm-exits for cr3 writes and invlpg. Run invvpid only when these instructions
are emulated and shadow pages are used.
