Should we focus on the first bad commit(612819c3c6e67bac8fceaa7cc402f13b1b63f7e4) and the surprising GFNs' flooding?

I applied below patch to  __direct_map(), 
@@ -2223,6 +2223,8 @@ static int __direct_map(struct kvm_vcpu
        int pt_write = 0;
        gfn_t pseudo_gfn;

+        map_writable = true;
+
        for_each_shadow_entry(vcpu, (u64)gfn << PAGE_SHIFT, iterator) {
                if (iterator.level == level) {
                        unsigned pte_access = ACC_ALL;
and rebuild the kvm-kmod, then re-insmod it.
After I started a VM, the host seemed to be abnormal, so many programs cannot be started successfully, segmentation fault is reported.
In my opinion, after above patch applied, the commit: 612819c3c6e67bac8fceaa7cc402f13b1b63f7e4 should be of no effect, but the test result proved me wrong.
Dose the map_writable value's getting process in hva_to_pfn() have effect on the result?

Thanks,
