[PATCH 01/11] KVM: MMU: avoid pte_list_desc run out in kvm_mmu_pte_write

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Tue Jul 26 2011 - 07:23:25 EST


kvm_mmu_pte_write is unsafe since we need to alloc pte_list_desc in the
function when spte is prefetched, unfortunately, we can not know how many
spte need to be prefetched on this path, that means we can use out of the
free pte_list_desc object in the cache, and BUG_ON() is triggered, also some
path does not fill the cache, such as INS instruction emulated that does not
trigger page fault
