[patch 10/48] KVM: Dont call get_user_pages(.force = 1)

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Sep 04 2009 - 16:22:16 EST



2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit d657c7335b97d746aa6123c56504b46c20e37df3)

This is esoteric and only needed to break COW on MAP_SHARED mappings. Since
KVM no longer does these sorts of mappings, breaking COW on them is no longer
necessary.
