[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 83/95] KVM: use slowpath for cross page cached accesses

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed May 27 2015 - 15:08:13 EST


3.13.11-ckt21 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca3f0874723fad81d0c701b63ae3a17a408d5f25 upstream.

kvm_write_guest_cached() does not mark all written pages as dirty and
code comments in kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init() talk about NULL memslot
with cross page accesses. Fix all the easy way.

The check is '<= 1' to have the same result for 'len = 0' cache anywhere
in the page. (nr_pages_needed is 0 on page boundary.)

Fixes: 8f964525a121 ("KVM: Allow cross page reads and writes from cached translations.")
