[PATCH 1/3] KVM: MMU: Fix 32 bit legacy paging with NPT

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Thu Sep 02 2010 - 11:34:26 EST


This patch fixes 32 bit legacy paging with NPT enabled. The
mmu_check_root call on the top-level of the loop causes
root_gfn to take values (in the tdp_enabled path) which are
outside of guest memory. So the mmu_check_root call fails at
some point in the loop interation causing the guest to
tiple-fault.
This patch changes the mmu_check_root calls to the places
where they are really necessary. As a side-effect it
introduces a check for the root of a pae page table too.
