[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always flush TLB in kvmppc_alloc_reset_hpt()
From: David Gibson
Date: Wed Jan 10 2018 - 01:04:48 EST
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl(), implemented by kvmppc_alloc_reset_hpt()
is supposed to completely clear and reset a guest's Hashed Page Table (HPT)
allocating or re-allocating it if necessary.
In the case where an HPT of the right size already exists and it just
zeroes it, it forces a TLB flush on all guest CPUs, to remove any stale TLB
entries loaded from the old HPT.
However, that situation can arise when the HPT is resizing as well - or
even when switching from an RPT to HPT - so those cases need a TLB flush as
well.
So, move the TLB flush to trigger in all cases except for errors.

Paul, this is based on Paolo's KVM tree, but it should apply without
modification to pretty much any vaguely current tree. It's a pretty
nasty bug - the case we've found hitting it in the wild is a bit
esoteric, but it could in theory affect other situations as well.
Please apply ASAP, and should probably be queued for the stable
branches as well.
