From a340b3e229b24a56f1c7f5826b15a3af0f4b13e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KarimAllah Ahmed Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 19:18:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit For EPT-violations that are triggered by a read, the pages are also mapped with write permissions (if their memory region is also writable). That would avoid getting yet another fault on the same page when a write occurs. This optimization only happens when you have a "struct page" backing the memory region. So also enable it for memory regions that do not have a "struct page".
