[PATCH 2/3] KVM: MMU: Remove user access when allowing kernel access to gpte.w=0 page

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

 



If cr0.wp=0, we have to allow the guest kernel access to a page with pte.w=0.
We do that by setting spte.w=1, since the host cr0.wp must remain set so the
host can write protect pages.  Once we allow write access, we must remove
user access otherwise we mistakenly allow the user to write the page.
