    KVM: MMU: Fix hugepage pdes mapping same physical address with different access · d28c6cfb
    Avi Kivity 提交于
    The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map
    the same physical address, they share the same shadow page.  This is a fairly
    common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example).
    
    However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm
    will happily use the cached shadow page.  If the access through the more
    permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault
    loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress.
    
    Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key.
    
    The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains.
    
    Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix.
