Re: [PATCH v4 5/6] kvm, mem-hotplug: Reload L1's apic access page on migration when L2 is running.

Hi Gleb,

By the way, when testing nested vm, I started L1 and L2 vm with
-cpu XXX, -x2apic

But with or with out this patch 5/6, when migrating apic access page,
the nested vm didn't corrupt.

We cannot migrate L2 vm because it pinned some other pages in memory.
Without this patch, if we migrate apic access page, I thought L2 vm will
corrupt. But it didn't.

Did I made any mistake you can obviously find out ?

Thanks.

This patch only handle "L1 and L2 vm share one apic access page" situation.

When L1 vm is running, if the shared apic access page is migrated, mmu_notifier will
request all vcpus to exit to L0, and reload apic access page physical address for
all the vcpus' vmcs (which is done by patch 5/6). And when it enters L2 vm, L2's vmcs
will be updated in prepare_vmcs02() called by nested_vm_run(). So we need to do
nothing.

When L2 vm is running, if the shared apic access page is migrated, mmu_notifier will
request all vcpus to exit to L0, and reload apic access page physical address for
all L2 vmcs. And this patch requests apic access page reload in L2->L1 vmexit.
