From 7c8b465a1c91f674655ea9cec5083744ec5f796a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Mattson jmattson@google.com Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 09:29:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Mark VMCB_NPT as dirty on nested VMRUN
Mark the VMCB_NPT bit as dirty in nested_vmcb02_prepare_save() on every nested VMRUN.
If L1 changes the PAT MSR between two VMRUN instructions on the same L1 vCPU, the g_pat field in the associated vmcb02 will change, and the VMCB_NPT clean bit should be cleared.
