From: Lai Jiangshan laijs@linux.alibaba.com Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:41:18 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] kvm: check tlbs_dirty directly
In kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), tlbs_dirty is used as: need_tlb_flush |= kvm->tlbs_dirty; with need_tlb_flush's type being int and tlbs_dirty's type being long.
It means that tlbs_dirty is always used as int and the higher 32 bits is useless. We need to check tlbs_dirty in a correct way and this change checks it directly without propagating it to need_tlb_flush.
Note: it's _extremely_ unlikely this neglecting of higher 32 bits can cause problems in practice. It would require encountering tlbs_dirty on a 4 billion count boundary, and KVM would need to be using shadow paging or be running a nested guest.
