Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Ignore guest CR3 on fast root switch for direct MMU
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2020 14:52:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200228225240.8646-2-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200228225240.8646-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>
Ignore the guest's CR3 when looking for a cached root for a direct MMU,
the guest's CR3 has no impact on the direct MMU's shadow pages (the
role check ensures compatibility with CR0.WP, etc...).
Zero out root_cr3 when allocating the direct roots to make it clear that
it's ignored.
