Subject: KVM: MMU: large page update_pte issue with non-PAE 32-bit guests
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2008 23:35:49 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080609023549.GA11092@dmt.cnet> (raw)
kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault
handling path.
