Subject: [PATCH 10/50] KVM: MMU: Make flooding detection work when guest page faults are bypassed
Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2007 16:50:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1198421495-31481-11-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1198421495-31481-1-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>
When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose
the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide
an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and
checking it later to see if the guest actually used it.
