Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] KVM: MMU: fix page dirty tracking lost while sync page
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:25:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C3FD11D.1060104@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4C3FCFD7.5070005@cn.fujitsu.com>

In sync-page path, if spte.writable is changed, it will lose page dirty
tracking, for example:

assume spte.writable = 0 in a unsync-page, when it's synced, it map spte
to writable(that is spte.writable = 1), later guest write spte.gfn, it means
spte.gfn is dirty, then guest changed this mapping to read-only, after it's
synced,  spte.writable = 0

So, when host release the spte, it detect spte.writable = 0 and not mark page
dirty
