Marcelo,

Sorry, i don't understand it clearly.

In the patch 7, we read gpte like this:

        hold mmu_lock
        atomic read gpte during guest mapping's checking in 'fetch' path
        atomic read 16 aligned items chunk (include gpte) in pte_prefetch path
        release mmu_lock

And in the patch 8, we do it like this:
        hold mmu_lock

        atomic read 16 aligned items chunk (include gpte) in 'fetch' path, and
        saved this chunk to gw->prefetch_ptes
        
        get gptes form gw->prefetch_ptes in pte_prefetch path

        release mmu_lock

Could you please tell me where is wrong?
