Hmmm.  The "my_mfn" values go up in 0x200s (which is the size of a
full EPT page) too but the "mfn" values go down 1 at a time.  I suspect
that your code is confused somewhere about the number of levels in the
EPT tables.

Hi, Tim

Many thanks for your tip, yes, I didn't cope with the levels properly. I have fixed it.

But here's another problem. Since I have a full ept copy, if I replace the system eptp with my eptp, 

the domU will still be running like nothing happened. Now the domU may be compromised, it didn't response to any keystroke or click...

Did I miss something when switching the eptp to and back?

Thanks,

Yao
