KVM: Write protect memory after slot swap
I have observed the following bug trigger:
1. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
2. kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access is called and makes a page ro
3. page fault happens and makes the page writeable
fault is logged in the bitmap appropriately
4. kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log swaps slot pointers
a lot of time passes
5. guest writes into the page
6. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
At point (5), bitmap is clean and page is writeable,
thus, guest modification of memory is not logged
and GET_DIRTY_LOG returns an empty bitmap.
The rule is that all pages are either dirty in the current bitmap,
or write-protected, which is violated here.
It seems that just moving kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access down
to after the slot pointer swap should fix this bug.
