Let me try to decode this.

If the current task's FPU state is live or if the state is in memory but the CPU regs just happen to match the copy in memory, then write the MSR. Else write the value to memory.

This is wrong. If !TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD && fpregs_state_valid, you MUST NOT MODIFY FPU STATE. This is not negotiable -- you will break coherence between CPU regs and the memory image. The way you modify the current task's state is either you modify it in CPU regs (if the kernel knows that the CPU regs are the one and only source of truth) OR you modify it in memory and invalidate any preserved copies (by zapping last_cpu).

In any event, that particular bit of logic really doesn't belong in here -- it belongs in some helper that gets it right, once.

IMO "has_valid_pasid" is a poor name. An mm can have a PASID. A task has noticed or it hasn't.

If you really need an in-memory cache, call it "pasid_msr_is_loaded". Or just read the field out of FPU state, but that might be painfully slow.
