Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: MMU: optimize pte write path if don't have protected sp
Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 10:44:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DC9F803.3050602@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

Simply return from kvm_mmu_pte_write path if no shadow page is
write-protected, then we can avoid to walk all shadow pages and hold
mmu-lock
