x86/hvm: limit memory type cache flush to running domains
Avoid the cache flush if the domain is not yet running. There shouldn't be any cached data resulting from domain accesses that need flushing, as the domain hasn't run yet. There can be data in the caches as a result of Xen and/or toolstack behavior. Ideally we would do a cache flush strictly before starting the domain, however doing so only makes sense once we can guarantee there are no leftover mappings of the affected ranges with cacheable attributes, otherwise the CPU can speculatively populate the cache with data from those ranges. No change in domain observable behavior intended. Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
