Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:56:09 +0300 From: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com> To: kvm@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 10/46] Revert "KVM: x86: check for cr3 validity in ioctl_set_sregs" From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@....de> This reverts commit 6c20e1442bb1c62914bb85b7f4a38973d2a423ba. To my understanding, it became obsolete with the advent of the more robust check in mmu_alloc_roots (89da4ff17f). Moreover, it prevents the conceptually safe pattern 1. set sregs 2. register mem-slots 3. run vcpu by setting a sticky triple fault during step 1.
