[Xen-devel] [PATCH] NPT: temporarily retain page table mapping in do_recalc()



Commit b3e024f3 ("x86/NPT: don't walk page tables when changing types
on a range") neglected the fact that p2m_next_level() replaces the
previous level's mapping with the new level's one, hence dereferencing
a stale pointer the translation for which may no longer be available
(timing dependent). Add a parameter to that function allowing the
caller to request that the mapping be retained (the unmapping will be
taken care of by the caller then).
