From 69325a122580d3a7b26589e8efdd6663001c3297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 14:35:58 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Remove user access when allowing kernel access to gpte.w=0 page If cr0.wp=0, we have to allow the guest kernel access to a page with pte.w=0. We do that by setting spte.w=1, since the host cr0.wp must remain set so the host can write protect pages. Once we allow write access, we must remove user access otherwise we mistakenly allow the user to write the page.
