Subject: [PATCH] riscv: KVM: Flush VS-stage stale entries
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 13:54:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803135454.2726112-1-guoren@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802050015.104795-1-guoyaxing@bosc.ac.cn>
From: "Guo Ren (Alibaba DAMO Academy)" <guoren@kernel.org>
When a vCPU migrates to a different host CPU, the new CPU may retain
stale VS-stage TLB entries (GVA → GPA) left by a previous run of the
same guest. Issue an HFENCE.VVMA (all ASIDs, all addresses) inside
kvm_riscv_mmu_update_hgatp() whenever the vCPU is loaded on a CPU
different from the one it last exited on.

Does this patch solve your problem? I would prefer to issue a full
HFENCE.VVMA whenever a new VMID is installed on a pCPU.
