From: Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 17:10:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Defer the MMU reload to the normal path on an EPTP switch
Defer reloading the MMU after a EPTP successful EPTP switch. The VMFUNC instruction itself is executed in the previous EPTP context, any side effects, e.g. updating RIP, should occur in the old context. Practically speaking, this bug is benign as VMX doesn't touch the MMU when skipping an emulated instruction, nor does queuing a single-step #DB. No other post-switch side effects exist.
