Probably gfn_to_mfn() should explicitly check for vmx_apic_access_mfn and return INVALID_MFN instead. That will fix all emulation routines by causing them to take their mmio path (or bail if they don't have them) which is the correct behaviour for this case. This is certainly important enough to fix for 3.2.0 (and 3.1.3). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
