Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration to prevent stale entries
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2025 11:34:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251002033402.610651-1-ben717@andestech.com> (raw)
From: Hui Min Mina Chou <minachou@andestech.com>
If multiple VCPUs of the same Guest/VM run on the same Host CPU,
hfence.vvma only flushes that Host CPU’s VS-stage TLB. Other Host CPUs
may retain stale VS-stage entries. When a VCPU later migrates to a
different Host CPU, it can hit these stale GVA to GPA mappings, causing
unexpected faults in the Guest.
To fix this, kvm_riscv_gstage_vmid_sanitize() is extended to flush both
G-stage and VS-stage TLBs whenever a VCPU migrates to a different Host CPU.
This ensures that no stale VS-stage mappings remain after VCPU migration.
Fixes: b79bf2025dbc ("RISC-V: KVM: Rename and move kvm_riscv_local_tlb_sanitize()")
