KVM: MMU: Use cmpxchg for pte updates on walk_addr()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In preparation for multi-threaded guest pte walking, use cmpxchg()
when updating guest pte's. This guarantees that the assignment of the
dirty bit can't be lost if two CPU's are faulting the same address
simultaneously.
