From bbeb34062fbad287c949a945a516a0c15b179993 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:23:11 +0800 Subject: KVM: Fix a race condition for usage of is_hwpoison_address() is_hwpoison_address accesses the page table, so the caller must hold current->mm->mmap_sem in read mode. So fix its usage in hva_to_pfn of kvm accordingly. Comment is_hwpoison_address to remind other users.
