Subject: [PATCH v1 26/28] KVM: nSVM: Flush the ASID on nested transitions if shared by L1 and L2
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:35:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728003557.1136583-27-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728003557.1136583-1-yosry@kernel.org>

If L1 and L2 use the same ASID in hardware, always flush it on nested
transitions to avoid using L1 TLB entries for L2 or vice versa, since
from L1's perspective they are two different TLB domains.

This can happen in two cases:
- KVM runs out of ASIDs and uses the fallback ASID for both L1 and L2.
- SEV VMs always use the same ASID for SEV-specific requirements.

Note that KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT is required here, not
KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST (used for L1 TLB flush requests). This is
because KVM could be switching between different NPT roots on the same
ASID. While this generally requires an ASID flush in the VMCB, which is
done by both KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT and KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST, it
also requires a hypercall to specifically flush NPT mappings when
running on Hyper-V, which is only done with KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT
(as KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST is only meant to flush translations created
by the guest).

Note that this is currently a noop as KVM requests
KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT unconditionally on nested transitions, but
this will soon be removed in favor of conditional flushes.
