Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: x86: drop superfluous mmu_check_root() from fast_pgd_switch()
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2020 11:36:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200708093611.1453618-4-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200708093611.1453618-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>

The mmu_check_root() check in fast_pgd_switch() seems to be
superfluous: when GPA is outside of the visible range
cached_root_available() will fail for non-direct roots
(as we can't have a matching one on the list) and we don't
seem to care for direct ones.

Also, raising #TF immediately when a non-existent GFN is written to CR3
doesn't seem to mach architectural behavior. Drop the check.
