commit 0e0fee5c539b61fdd098332e0e2cc375d9073706 upstream. When a guest page table is updated via an emulated write, kvm_mmu_pte_write() is called to update the shadow PTE using the just written guest PTE value. But if two emulated guest PTE writes happened concurrently, it is possible that the guest PTE and the shadow PTE end up being out of sync. Emulated writes do not mark the shadow page as unsync-ed, so this inconsistency will not be resolved even by a guest TLB flush (unless the page was marked as unsync-ed at some other point). This is fixed by re-reading the current value of the guest PTE after the MMU lock has been acquired instead of just using the value that was written prior to calling kvm_mmu_pte_write().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
