Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] KVM: nVMX: Switch to vmcs01 to update APIC page on-demand if L2 is active
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2025 15:19:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205231913.441872-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205231913.441872-1-seanjc@google.com>

If the KVM-owned APIC-access page is migrated while L2 is running,
temporarily load vmcs01 and immediately update APIC_ACCESS_ADDR instead
of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit.  Once changing
the virtual APIC mode is converted to always do on-demand updates, all
of the "defer until vmcs01 is active" logic will be gone.
