[PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Clear segment cache after switching between L1 and L2

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

 



From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Switching the VMCS obviously invalidates what may have been cached about
the guest segments.

Probably, the missing invalidations are harmless ATM, but you never
know.
