Marcelo,

Sorry, I do not know why you thought the logic was changed, in this patch,
the logic is:

/* return true if it is successful. */
if (hva_to_pfn_fast(addr, atomic, async, write_fault, writable, &pfn))
return pfn;

/* atomic can not go to slow path. */
if (atomic)
return KVM_PFN_ERR_FAULT;

/* get pfn by the slow path */
npages = hva_to_pfn_slow(addr, async, write_fault, writable, &pfn);
if (npages == 1)
return pfn;

/* the error-handle path. */
......


Did i miss something?
