Subject: [PATCH] KVM: add KVM_SYNC_SHADOW_WITH_USER ioctl
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 13:39:15 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080108153915.GB21726@dmt> (raw)


The host needs to zap its shadow entries before performing an inflate
operation to avoid the guest from using stale ones.

So add an ioctl to interface with kvm_mmu_zap_all().
