Subject: KVM: nVMX: Switch to vmcs01 to update APIC page on-demand if L2 is active
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51c821d6d0ba038506d8b1c522f0b2b0ed756dd3;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

KVM: nVMX: Switch to vmcs01 to update APIC page on-demand if L2 is active

If the KVM-owned APIC-access page is migrated while L2 is running,
temporarily load vmcs01 and immediately update APIC_ACCESS_ADDR instead
of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit.  Once changing
the virtual APIC mode is converted to always do on-demand updates, all
of the "defer until vmcs01 is active" logic will be gone.
