Ignoring optional extensions, EPT doesn't differntiate between Supervisor and User, but does support !READABLE mappings. And so KVM piggybacks PFERR_USER_MASK to track whether or not an EPT fault occurred on a read access. > > Signed-off-by: Quanfa Fu <quanfafu@gmail.com> > --- > arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c > index 7eec0226d56a..3c1012039517 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c > @@ -5668,7 +5668,7 @@ static int handle_ept_violation(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) > gpa = vmcs_read64(GUEST_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS); > trace_kvm_page_fault(vcpu, gpa, exit_qualification); > > - /* Is it a read fault? */ > + /* Is it a user fault? */ > error_code = (exit_qualification & EPT_VIOLATION_ACC_READ) > ?
