Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit, for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb' instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> --- arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
