From 817a824b75b1475f1b067c8cee318c7b4d66fcde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Campbell Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:16:00 +0000 Subject: x86, xen: Disable highmem PTE allocation even when CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.
