[PATCH 10/12] KVM: MMU: load new PGD after the shadow MMU is initialized

Paolo Bonzini
2022-02-09T17:01:32Z

Now that __kvm_mmu_new_pgd does not look at the MMU's root_level and
shadow_root_level anymore, pull the PGD load after the initialization of
the shadow MMUs.

Besides being more intuitive, this enables future simplifications
and optimizations because it's not necessary anymore to compute the
role outside kvm_init_mmu. In particular, kvm_mmu_reset_context was not
attempting to use a cached PGD to avoid having to figure out the new role.
It will soon be able to follow what nested_{vmx,svm}_load_cr3 are doing,
and avoid unloading all the cached roots.
