Subject: [PATCH] xen: fix allocation and use of large ldts
Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:45:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <488C97FE.2010606@goop.org> (raw)

When the ldt gets to more than 1 page in size, the kernel uses vmalloc
to allocate it.  This means that:
 - when making the ldt RO, we must update the pages in both the vmalloc
   mapping and the linear mapping to make sure there are no RW aliases.
 - we need to use arbitrary_virt_to_machine to compute the machine addr
   for each update
