KVM: MMU: fix page dirty tracking lost while sync page
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In sync-page path, if spte.writable is changed, it will lose page dirty
tracking, for example:

assume spte.writable = 0 in a unsync-page, when it's synced, it map spte
to writable(that is spte.writable = 1), later guest write spte.gfn, it means
spte.gfn is dirty, then guest changed this mapping to read-only, after it's
synced,  spte.writable = 0

So, when host release the spte, it detect spte.writable = 0 and not mark page
dirty
