Hi Wang!
Thanks for the patch. This omission (in several places) was
deliberate. We can't really do anything sensible if the user unmapped
the page. I assume you saw a gcc warning from this code?
We could also use lgread() in these places which does this check and
kills the guest if something goes wrong. I'll check the benchmarks to
make sure the (slight) extra overhead doesn't cause a regression...
Thanks!
Rusty.
