Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: avoid fast page fault fixing mmio page fault
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:52:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1374123157-11142-1-git-send-email-xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Currently, fast page fault tries to fix mmio page fault when the
generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen) and returns to
guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent
which causes infinity loop

It can be triggered only on AMD host since the mmio page fault is
recognized as ept-misconfig

Fix it by filtering the mmio page fault out in page_fault_can_be_fast
