[PATCH v4 7/8] KVM: MMU: Validate all gptes during fetch, not just those used for new pages

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

 



Currently, when we fetch an spte, we only verify that gptes match those that
the walker saw if we build new shadow pages for them.

However, this misses the following race:

  vcpu1            vcpu2

  walk
                  change gpte
                  walk
                  instantiate sp

  fetch existing sp

Fix by validating every gpte, regardless of whether it is used for building
a new sp or not.
