[PATCH v2 26/32] KVM: nVMX: Selectively use TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT for nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Mar 17 2020 - 00:53:38 EST


Flush only the current context, as opposed to all contexts, when
requesting a TLB flush to handle the scenario where a L1 does not expect
a TLB flush, but one is required because L1 and L2 shared an ASID. This
occurs if EPT is disabled (no per-EPTP tag), VPID is enabled (hardware
doesn't flush unconditionally) and vmcs02 does not have its own VPID due
to exhaustion of available VPIDs.
