If L1 and L2 share VPID (because L1 don't use VPID or we haven't allocated a vpid02), we need to flush TLB on L1<->L2 transitions. Before this patch, this TLB flushing was done by vmx_flush_tlb(). If L0 use EPT, this will translate into INVEPT(active_eptp); However, if L1 use EPT, in L1->L2 VMEntry, active EPTP is EPTP01 but TLB entries populated by L2 are tagged with EPTP02. Therefore we should delay vmx_flush_tlb() until active_eptp is EPTP02. To achieve this, instead of directly calling vmx_flush_tlb() we request it to be called by KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH which is evaluated after KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 which sets the active_eptp to EPTP02 as required. Similarly, on L2->L1 VMExit, active EPTP is EPTP02 but TLB entries populated by L1 are tagged with EPTP01 and therefore we should delay vmx_flush_tlb() until active_eptp is EPTP01.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
