[PATCH 29/33] KVM: MMU: Avoid calling gfn_to_page() in mmu_set_spte()

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Jan 06 2008 - 09:48:46 EST


Since gfn_to_page() is a sleeping function, and we want to make the core mmu
spinlocked, we need to pass the page from the walker context (which can sleep)
to the shadow context (which cannot).

[marcelo: avoid recursive locking of mmap_sem]
