commit c3e0c8c2e8b17bae30d5978bc2decdd4098f0f99 upstream.
Fully re-evaluate whether or not MMIO caching can be enabled when SPTE
masks change; simply clearing enable_mmio_caching when a configuration
isn't compatible with caching fails to handle the scenario where the
masks are updated, e.g. by VMX for EPT or by SVM to account for the C-bit
location, and toggle compatibility from false=>true.
Snapshot the original module param so that re-evaluating MMIO caching
preserves userspace's desire to allow caching. Use a snapshot approach
so that enable_mmio_caching still reflects KVM's actual behavior.
Fixes: 8b9e74bfbf8c ("KVM: x86/mmu: Use enable_mmio_caching to track if MMIO caching is enabled")

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.
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.
