* KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus2008-03-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

* libfs: allow error return from simple attributesChristoph Hellwig2008-02-081-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the main ones and allows to return errors.

* KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlockMarcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock spinlock. Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias and memslot changes. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: Add kvm_read_guest_atomic()Marcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-0/+20
| | | | | | | | In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic() and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page(). Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkersMarcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-17/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code, only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling. Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use mmap_sem in read-mode. And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.
