It's just strange to have shadows for a guest page that is swapped out, so I pointed that out. But as the page cannot change in swap, everything is safe. I guess that kernel page tables could be swapped out after a short while in a guest that doesn't swap its own kernel pages. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
