[PATCH 6/9] KVM: MMU: Add missing dirty bit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we emulate a write, we fail to set the dirty bit on the guest pte, leading
the guest to believe the page is clean, and thus lose data.  Bad.

Fix by setting the guest pte dirty bit under such conditions.
