Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/5] KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when X86_CR4_PCIDE 1->0
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 23:13:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114041301.2801291-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109202153-failed-5.15-c7c288d178cb@kernel.org>
From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>
[ Upstream commit 552617382c197949ff965a3559da8952bf3c1fa5 ]
X86_CR4_PCIDE doesn't participate in kvm_mmu_role, so the mmu context
doesn't need to be reset. It is only required to flush all the guest
tlb.
