Subject: [PATCH 31/33] KVM: MMU: Flush guest tlb when reducing permissions on a pte
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:20:07 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070104162007.AF4E9250048@il.qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <459D21DD.5090506-atKUWr5tajBWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>
If we reduce permissions on a pte, we must flush the cached copy of the pte
from the guest's tlb.
This is implemented at the moment by flushing the entire guest tlb, and can
be improved by flushing just the relevant virtual address, if it is known.
