Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: fix cache stale memslot info with correct mmio generation number
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 15:01:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407999713-3726-1-git-send-email-xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

We may cache the current mmio generation number and stale memslot info
into spte, like this scenario:

       CPU 0                                  CPU 1
page fault:                                add a new memslot
read memslot and detecting its a mmio access
                                           update memslots
                                           update generation number
read generation number
cache the gpa and current gen number into spte

So, if guest accesses the gpa later, it will generate a incorrect
mmio exit

This patch fixes it by updating the generation number after
synchronize_srcu_expedited() that makes sure the generation
number updated only if memslots update is finished
