[Xen-devel] AMD SVM question (svm_asid_g_invlpg)



Hello,

SVM code doesn't use the INVLPGA instruction, but rather invalidate the whole ASID when invalidating a guest page.

INVLPG exit is enabled only on shadow code, which is smart enough to handle corner cases like splintered pagetables invlpg's.

Is this a workaround for some buggy hardware? Is there any problem in enabling the INVLPGA instruction?

Thanks,
Gianluca
