If the walk_addr_generic function then runs with tdp enabled it would report a set nx bit as a rsvd fault. We also can't use is_nx() in those path because it does not distinguish between l1 and l2 nx. Are there guests that switch the efer.nx bit regularly enough so that it matters? If so I would suggest to drop this patch and keep mmu.nx.
I'll do that then. I'm still unhappy about the duplication. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
