Subject: [PATCH 6/9] KVM: MMU: Add missing dirty bit
Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2007 07:55:45 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070105075545.83E2F250048@il.qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <459E02E7.5020407-atKUWr5tajBWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>
If we emulate a write, we fail to set the dirty bit on the guest pte, leading
the guest to believe the page is clean, and thus lose data. Bad.
Fix by setting the guest pte dirty bit under such conditions.
