Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] Simplify and fix fetch()
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:27:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279020431-31431-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)

fetch() has become a monster, with a zillion continues, breaks, and gotos.
Simplify it before Xiao adds even more.

Also fix the gpte validation race.

Avi Kivity (8):
  KVM: MMU: Add link_shadow_page() helper
  KVM: MMU: Use __set_spte to link shadow pages
  KVM: MMU: Add drop_large_spte() helper
     v2: s/drop_spte_if_large/drop_large_spte/g
  KVM: MMU: Add validate_direct_spte() helper
  KVM: MMU: Add gpte_changed() helper
     v4: change name to gpte_changed(), move error handling back to fetch()
     v2: add comments
         make validate_indirect_spte() look at spte in its own level, not one
         below (but adjust caller so no net effect)
  KVM: MMU: Simplify spte fetch() function
     v2: add comments
         update 'sptep' and 'level' for last level
  KVM: MMU: Validate all gptes during fetch, not just those used for
    new pages
     v4: fix freeing of incorrect shadow page on changed gpte
     v3: fix top-level gpte validation oops
     v2: validate top-level gpte (in root page)
  KVM: MMU: Eliminate redundant temporaries in FNAME(fetch)
     v2: new patch
