Subject: [PATCH 6/10] KVM: MMU: don not record gfn in kvm_mmu_pte_write
Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:00:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D70C630.1080100@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D70C569.1030107@cn.fujitsu.com>
No need to record the gfn to verifier the pte has the same mode as
current vcpu, it's because we only speculatively update the pte only
if the pte and vcpu have the same mode
