From 83b20b28c670868bfb717be4fe1557c925a81657 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yang Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 19:59:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: don't reset root in kvm_mmu_setup() Here is the code path which shows kvm_mmu_setup() is invoked after kvm_mmu_create(). Since kvm_mmu_setup() is only invoked in this code path, this means the root_hpa and prev_roots are guaranteed to be invalid. And it is not necessary to reset it again. kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() kvm_arch_vcpu_create() vmx_create_vcpu() kvm_vcpu_init() kvm_arch_vcpu_init() kvm_mmu_create() kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() kvm_mmu_setup() kvm_init_mmu() This patch set reset_roots to false in kmv_mmu_setup().
