[PATCH v3 05/15] KVM: MMU: update spte and add it into rmap before dirty log

Xiao Guangrong
2013-10-23T13:34:31Z

kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() write-protects the spte based on the its dirty
bitmap, so we should ensure the writable spte can be found in rmap before the
dirty bitmap is visible. Otherwise, we clear the dirty bitmap but fail to
write-protect the page which is detailed in the comments in this patch

+ * add the spte into rmap
+ *
+ * !!!!!! Then the page can be freely wrote but not recorded in
