[PATCH 10/10] KVM MMU: optimize sync/update unsync-page

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Thu Apr 22 2010 - 02:17:19 EST


invlpg only need update unsync page, sp->unsync and sp->unsync_children
can help us to find it

Now, a gfn may have many shadow pages, when one sp need be synced, we
write protect sp->gfn and sync this sp but we keep other shadow pages
asynchronous

So, while gfn happen page fault, let it not touch unsync page, the unsync
page only updated at invlpg/flush TLB time
