[PATCH v14 6/7] KVM: arm: dirty logging write protect support

Thu Nov 13 17:57:47 PST 2014


Add support to track dirty pages between user space KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl
calls. We call kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() function to do most of the work.

+ *   2. Write protect the corresponding page.
+ *   3. Copy the snapshot to the userspace.
+ *   4. Flush TLB's if needed.
+ *
+ * Steps 1,2,3 are handled by kvm_get_dirty_log_protect().
+ * Between 2 and 4, the guest may write to the page using the remaining TLB
+ * entry.  This is not a problem because the page is reported dirty using
+ * the snapshot taken before and step 4 ensures that writes done after
+ * exiting to userspace will be logged for the next call.
