Subject: [89/98] KVM: MMU: bail out pagewalk on kvm_read_guest error

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

commit a6085fbaf65ab09bfb5ec8d902d6d21680fe1895 upstream.

Exit the guest pagetable walk loop if reading gpte failed. Otherwise its
possible to enter an endless loop processing the previous present pte.
