[PATCH v6 5/6] kvm, mem-hotplug: Reload L1's apic access page on migration when L2 is running.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Tue Sep 16 2014 - 06:41:23 EST


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.
