From cc70e7374df1e3a56d718e8ca330619f316511a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:12:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Disable write access on clean large pages By forcing clean huge pages to be read-only, we have separate roles for the shadow of a clean large page and the shadow of a dirty large page. This is necessary because different ptes will be instantiated for the two cases, even for read faults.
