[PATCH v2 2/8] KVM: MMU: Use __set_spte to link shadow pages

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

 



To avoid split accesses to 64 bit sptes on i386, use __set_spte() to link
shadow pages together.

(not technically required since shadow pages are __GFP_KERNEL, so upper 32
bits are always clear)
