From 3dc907951446b9317b1887223caa4e083390de9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:29:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] paravirt: remove read hazard from cow We don't want to read PTEs directly like this after they have been modified, as a lazy MMU implementation of direct page tables may not have written the updated PTE back to memory yet.
