Subject: [PATCH 20/33] KVM: MMU: Handle misaligned accesses to write protected guest page tables
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:09:07 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070104160907.2F843250048@il.qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <459D21DD.5090506@qumranet.com>

A misaligned access affects two shadow ptes instead of just one.

Since a misaligned access is unlikely to occur on a real page table, just
zap the page out of existence, avoiding further trouble.
