+hv-tlbflush malfunctions on Intel host CPUs with neither EPT nor VPID (qemu-kvm)
+
+Enabling hv-tlbflush on older hosts using Intel CPUs supporting VT-x but neither EPT nor VPID will lead to bluescreens on the guest.
+
+It seems KVM only checks if EPT is available, and if it isn't it forcibly uses VPID. If that's *also* not available, it defaults to basically a no-op hypercall, though windows is expecting the TLB to be flushed.
+
+hv-tlbflush is pretty useless on machines not supporting these extensions anyway (only reasonably fix I can see would be to flush the *entire* TLB on tlbflush hypercall in KVM (i.e. a kernel fix), but that would remove any performance benefits), so I would suggest some kind of preliminary check and warning/error if hv-tlbflush is specified on such a host.
+
+All CPUs mentioned in this thread[0] are confirmed to be affected by the bug, and I have successfully reproduced it on an Intel Core2Duo E8500.

+The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
+another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
+and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
+"Incomplete" now.
+
+If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
+the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
+will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
+the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.
+
+Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

+
+[Expired for QEMU because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
