[PATCH v2 10/11] KVM: MMU: clear write-flooding on the fast path of tracked page

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

 



If the page fault is caused by write access on write tracked page, the
real shadow page walking is skipped, we lost the chance to clear write
flooding for the page structure current vcpu is using

Fix it by locklessly waking shadow page table to clear write flooding
on the shadow page structure out of mmu-lock. So that we change the
count to atomic_t
