[PATCH MANUALSEL 5.14 5/5] KVM: MMU: Reset mmu->pkru_mask to avoid stale data

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-10-25 20:38:55
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Chenyi Qiang <redacted>

[ Upstream commit a3ca5281bb771d8103ea16f0a6a8a5df9a7fb4f3 ]

When updating mmu->pkru_mask, the value can only be added but it isn't
reset in advance. This will make mmu->pkru_mask keep the stale data.
Fix this issue.

Fixes: 2d344105f57c ("KVM, pkeys: introduce pkru_mask to cache conditions")
