From 722c05f2192070bac0208b2c16ce13929b32d92f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 11:33:54 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Fix potential race setting upper shadow ptes on nonpae hosts The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging) sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area. Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly. Noticed by Izik Eidus.
