Christoph, I think this is two story. How to offline a page is a specific
recover action method, instead of the MCA itself. Or I missed anything?
For guest owned page offline caused by #MC, Xen can't do anything but mark it
(the page frame, 4k) pending, so that when it is freed, it will not be accessed
anymore.
It will depends on the real recover action to make sure it will not be accessed
by guest anymore. For example, inject a vMC to guest, so that guest can do
offline itself, or kill the domain directly in some situation.
Or do I missed anything?
Thanks
