Going back several months have been patches out of Google to optimize AMD cache flushing for KVM-based Linux guest virtual machines when making use of Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)

As anticipated, that AMD SEV cache flushing optimization work looks like it will be merged for the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel cycle. Google engineer Sean Christopherson has been spearheading this work around the optimized cache flushing for AMD SEV guests with KVM. Thus barring any last minute issues from being raised with the code, this smarter cache flushing for AMD SEV KVM guests is then expected to be merged for the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel cycle.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
