[PATCH 08/26] KVM: PPC: Don't flush PTEs on NX/RO hit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When hitting a no-execute or read-only data/inst storage interrupt we were
flushing the respective PTE so we're sure it gets properly overwritten next.

According to the spec, this is unnecessary though. The guest issues a tlbie
anyways, so we're safe to just keep the PTE around and have it manually removed
from the guest, saving us a flush.
