Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Clear segment cache after switching between L1 and L2
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:35:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51293629.7050605@web.de> (raw)
From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
Switching the VMCS obviously invalidates what may have been cached about
the guest segments.
Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Probably, the missing invalidations are harmless ATM, but you never
know.
