KVM: MMU: flush TLBs on writable -> read-only spte overwrite
This can happen in the following scenario: vcpu0 vcpu1 read fault gup(.write=0) gup(.write=1) reuse swap cache, no COW set writable spte use writable spte set read-only spte Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
