[PATCH v2 1/10] KVM: MMU: fix writable sync sp mapping

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Fri Jun 25 2010 - 08:09:27 EST


While we sync the unsync sp, we may mapping the spte writable, it's
dangerous, if one unsync sp's mapping gfn is another unsync page's gfn.

For example:
have two unsync pages SP1, SP2 and:

SP1.pte[0] = P
SP2.gfn's pfn = P
[SP1.pte[0] = SP2.gfn's pfn]

First, we unsync SP2, it will write protect for SP2.gfn since
SP1.pte[0] is mapping to this page, it will mark read only.

Then, we unsync SP1, SP1.pte[0] may mark to writable.

Now, we will write SP2.gfn by SP1.pte[0] mapping

This bug will corrupt guest's page table, fixed by mark read-only mapping
if the mapped gfn has shadow page
