[PATCH 4.18 61/79] x86/KVM/VMX: Dont set l1tf_flush_l1d to true from vmx_l1d_flush()

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

 



4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx>

vmx_l1d_flush() gets invoked only if l1tf_flush_l1d is true. There's no
point in setting l1tf_flush_l1d to true from there again.
