[PATCH 4/4] KVM: Remove write access permissions when dirty-page-logging is enabled

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

 



Enabling dirty page logging is done using KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl.
If the memory region already exists, we need to remove write accesses,
so writes will be caught, and dirty pages will be logged.
