Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] KVM: x86: nSVM: Clear VMCB_NPT clean bit when updating g_pat in L2
Date: Thu,  5 Feb 2026 13:43:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205214326.1029278-2-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260205214326.1029278-1-jmattson@google.com>

When running an L2 guest and writing to MSR_IA32_CR_PAT, the host PAT value
is stored in vmcb01.ptr->save.g_pat, but the clean bit was only being
cleared for svm->vmcb, which points to vmcb02 in guest mode.

Introduce the helper svm_set_vmcb_gpat() which sets vmcb->save.g_pat and
marks the VMCB dirty for VMCB_NPT. Use this helper in both svm_set_msr()
for updating vmcb01 and in nested_vmcb02_compute_g_pat() for updating
vmcb02, ensuring both VMCBs are properly marked dirty.

Fixes: 4995a3685f1b ("KVM: SVM: Use a separate vmcb for the nested L2 guest")
