Subject: [PATCH v4 1/8] KVM: x86: nSVM: Clear VMCB_NPT clean bit when updating hPAT from guest mode
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:58:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212155905.3448571-2-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212155905.3448571-1-jmattson@google.com>
When running an L2 guest and writing to MSR_IA32_CR_PAT, the host PAT value
is stored in both vmcb01's g_pat field and vmcb02's g_pat field, but the
clean bit was only being cleared for vmcb02.
Introduce the helper vmcb_set_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' NPT fields are properly marked dirty.
Fixes: 4995a3685f1b ("KVM: SVM: Use a separate vmcb for the nested L2 guest")
