Hi, When I tested pvfb, I got the following warnings. It seems to be caused by checking/setting info->dirty without dirty_lock. We need to check/set info->dirty safely. xenfb_update_screen bogus rect 2147483647 0 2147483647 0 BUG: warning at /root/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/drivers/xen/fbfront/xenfb.c:240/xenfb_update_screen() Call Trace: [<ffffffff8036920e>] xenfb_thread+0x19b/0x2be

This patch series tidies up a few bits ofthe nested p2m code. The main thing it does is reorganize the locking so that most of the changes to nested p2m tables happen only under the p2m lock, and the nestedp2m lock is only needed to reassign p2m tables to new cr3 values. Changes since v1: - a few minor fixes - more sensible flushing policy in p2m_get_nestedp2m() - smoke-tested this time!
