So, why an exit to user space for converting is required instead of a mere retry? Or, is it because how .is_private is assigned in patch 21 is subjected to change in future? > + kvm_mmu_prepare_memory_fault_exit(vcpu, fault); > + return -EFAULT; > + } > + > + if (fault->is_private) > + return kvm_faultin_pfn_private(vcpu, fault); > + > async = false; > fault->pfn = __gfn_to_pfn_memslot(slot, fault->gfn, false, false, &async, > fault->write, &fault->map_writable, > @@ -7184,6 +7255,19 @@ void kvm_mmu_pre_destroy_vm(struct kvm *kvm) > } >
