Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate PAE root array when using SVM's 32-bit NPT
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2019 10:22:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190613172223.17119-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)

SVM's Nested Page Tables (NPT) reuses x86 paging for the host-controlled
page walk.  For 32-bit KVM, this means PAE paging is used even when TDP
is enabled, i.e. the PAE root array needs to be allocated.

Fixes: ee6268ba3a68 ("KVM: x86: Skip pae_root shadow allocation if tdp enabled")

Jiri, can you please test this patch?  I haven't actually verified this
fixes the bug due to lack of SVM hardware.
