From 855149aaa90016c576a0e684361a34f8047307d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Izik Eidus Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:17:24 +0200 Subject: KVM: MMU: fix dirty bit setting when removing write permissions When mmu_set_spte() checks if a page related to spte should be release as dirty or clean, it check if the shadow pte was writeble, but in case rmap_write_protect() is called called it is possible for shadow ptes that were writeble to become readonly and therefor mmu_set_spte will release the pages as clean. This patch fix this issue by marking the page as dirty inside rmap_write_protect().
