According to Intel SDM section 28.3.3.3/28.3.3.4 Guidelines for Use of the INVVPID/INVEPT Instruction, the hypervisor needs to execute INVVPID/INVEPT X in case CPU executes VMEntry with VPID/EPTP X and either: "Virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control was changed from 0 to 1, OR the value of apic_access_page was changed. In the nested case, the burden falls on L1, unless L0 enables EPT in vmcs02 but L1 enables neither EPT nor VPID in vmcs12. For this reason prepare_vmcs02() and load_vmcs12_host_state() have special code to request a TLB flush in case L1 does not use EPT but it uses "virtualize APIC accesses". This special case however is not necessary. On a nested vmentry the physical TLB will already be flushed except if all the following apply: * L0 uses VPID * L1 uses VPID * L0 can guarantee TLB entries populated while running L1 are tagged differently than TLB entries populated while running L2. If the first condition is false, the processor will flush the TLB on vmentry to L2. If the second or third condition are false, prepare_vmcs02() will request KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH. However, even if both are true, no extra TLB flush is needed to handle the APIC access page: * if L1 doesn't use VPID, the second condition doesn't hold and the TLB will be flushed anyway. * if L1 uses VPID, it has to flush the TLB itself with INVVPID and section 28.3.3.3 doesn't apply to L0. * even INVEPT is not needed because, if L0 uses EPT, it uses different EPTP when running L2 than L1 (because guest_mode is part of mmu-role). In this case SDM section 28.3.3.4 doesn't apply. Similarly, examining nested_vmx_vmexit()->load_vmcs12_host_state(), one could note that L0 won't flush TLB only in cases where SDM sections 28.3.3.3 and 28.3.3.4 don't apply. In particular, if L0 uses different VPIDs for L1 and L2 (i.e. vmx->vpid != vmx->nested.vpid02), section 28.3.3.3 doesn't apply. Thus, remove this flush from prepare_vmcs02() and nested_vmx_vmexit().
