The address of the gpte was already calculated and stored in ptep_user
before entering cmpxchg_gpte().

This patch makes cmpxchg_gpte() to use that to make it clear that we
are using the same address during walk_addr_generic().

  Note: I tested this but could not see cmpxchg_gpte() being called.
    Is there any good test case?

Run with npt or ept disabled. With a normal OS you'll see A and D bits being set when the guest is under memory pressure, or when the guest uses a shared writeable mapping. You can also try kvm-unit-tests.git's x86/access.flat test (also with npt/ept disabled).

  static int FNAME(cmpxchg_gpte)(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_mmu *mmu,
-			 gfn_t table_gfn, unsigned index,
-			 pt_element_t orig_pte, pt_element_t new_pte)
+			       pt_element_t __user *ptep_user, unsigned index,
+			       pt_element_t orig_pte, pt_element_t new_pte)
  {
+	int npages;
  	pt_element_t ret;
  	pt_element_t *table;
  	struct page *page;
-	gpa_t gpa;

-	gpa = mmu->translate_gpa(vcpu, table_gfn<<  PAGE_SHIFT,
-				 PFERR_USER_MASK|PFERR_WRITE_MASK);
-	if (gpa == UNMAPPED_GVA)
-		return -EFAULT;
-
-	page = gfn_to_page(vcpu->kvm, gpa_to_gfn(gpa));
+	npages = get_user_pages_fast((unsigned long)ptep_user, 1, 1,&page);
+	BUG_ON(npages != 1);

This BUG_ON() is user triggerable - have one thread munmap() guest memory while another thread runs guest code which triggers this path. You need to return an error here. Or maybe you can just return - the user is doing something meaningless and there's no correct action here.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
