[RFC PATCH 05/24] KVM: SVM: Flush the ASID when running on a new CPU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, when a vCPU is migrated to a new physical CPU, the ASID
generation is reset to trigger allocating a new ASID. In preparation for
using a static ASID per VM, just flush the ASID in this case (falling
back to flushing everything if FLUSBYASID is not available).
