[RFC PATCH 04/24] KVM: SVM: Flush everything if FLUSHBYASID is not available
From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Wed Mar 26 2025 - 15:39:01 EST
Currently, if FLUSHBYASID is not available when performing a TLB flush,
the fallback is decrementing the ASID generation to trigger allocating a
new ASID. In preparation for using a static ASID per VM, just fallback
to flushing everything if FLUSHBYASID is not available. This is probably
worse from a performance perspective, but FLUSHBYASID has been around
for ~15 years and it's not worth carrying the complexity.
The fallback logic is moved within vmcb_set_flush_asid(), as more
callers will be added and will need the fallback as well.
