[PATCH] nestedhvm: reduce IPIs with nested-on-nested

[Christoph Egger <Christoph.Egger@amd.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 665 bytes --]


In p2m_get_nestedp2m() there is no need to send IPIs via
nestedhvm_vmcx_flushtlb() since p2m_flush_table() already
did that.

Stop sending IPIs to flush the nested-on-nested pagetable
after write operations. Instead flush the TLB only.
This fixes an endless loop of nested page faults after
adding an entry to the nested-on-nested pagetable.
