[PATCH 4/7] KVM/x86: Call smp_wmb() before increasing tlbs_dirty

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

 



Update spte before increasing tlbs_dirty to make sure no tlb flush
in lost after spte is zapped. This pairs with the barrier in the
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs().
