libfs: allow error return from simple attributes

2008-02-08T17:22:34Z

Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the main ones and allows to return errors.

KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlock

2008-01-30T16:01:21Z

Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock spinlock. Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias and memslot changes. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: Add kvm_read_guest_atomic()

2008-01-30T16:01:20Z

In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic() and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page(). Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkers

2008-01-30T16:01:20Z

Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code, only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling. Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use mmap_sem in read-mode. And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.
