[PATCH 41/54] KVM: MMU: Use cmpxchg for pte updates on walk_addr()
From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Jan 01 2008 - 10:54:16 EST
From: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo@xxxxxxxxx>
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.
