[PATCH] kvm: allow RO page when atomic && !write_fault

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Sun Feb 20 2011 - 22:47:22 EST



Atomic-able hva_to_pfn() patches and allow-read-only-page patches
are merged almost the same time. But hva_to_pfn() does not handle
these two issues well together.

When @atomic && !@write_fault && host-is-read-only-page-mapped
the code will return fault_page, actually, it will be better
if we return the pfn of the read-only-page.
