From cd12909cb576d37311fe35868780e82d5007d0c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vrabel Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:53:32 +0100 Subject: xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm). After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be removed from alloc_vm_area().
