Personally, I find double negations like 'mismatch = false' hard to read
:-). What if we write this all like
if (!VALID_PAGE(kvm_vmx->hv_tlb_eptp)) {
kvm_vmx->hv_tlb_eptp = to_vmx(vcpu0)->ept_pointer;
kvm_for_each_vcpu() {
tmp_eptp = to_vmx(vcpu)->ept_pointer;
if (!VALID_PAGE(tmp_eptp) || tmp_eptp != kvm_vmx->hv_tlb_eptp)
kvm_vmx->hv_tlb_eptp = INVALID_PAGE;
if (VALID_PAGE(tmp_eptp))
ret |= hv_remote_flush_eptp(tmp_eptp, range);
}
} else {
ret = hv_remote_flush_eptp(kvm_vmx->hv_tlb_eptp, range);
}
(not tested and I've probably missed something)
