From 3b1b34aae2ce95a00cf949eaf66423fbc3e7b660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:30:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: When updating the dirty bit, inform the mmu about it Since the mmu uses different shadow pages for dirty large pages and clean large pages, this allows the mmu to drop ptes that are now invalid.
