[patch 17/26] KVM: VMX: flush TLB with INVEPT on cpu migration

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Oct 09 2009 - 19:18:55 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eb5109e311b5152c0614a28d7d615d087f268f19 upstream.

It is possible that stale EPTP-tagged mappings are used, if a
vcpu migrates to a different pcpu.

Set KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH in vmx_vcpu_load, when switching pcpus, which
will invalidate both VPID and EPT mappings on the next vm-entry.
