On host console, it shows "inject_page_fault" with address 0x842399d0. ########## kvm: inject_page_fault: double fault 0x842399d0 kvm: inject_page_fault: double fault 0x842399d0 ########## The bug does not occur with UP PAE Vista and UP/SMP 32e Vista guest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Avi Kivity (avik) Date: 2008-12-21 18:42 Message: Fixed by commit ec7808079ed4978009bcade9d21db99e2a193dcf Author: Avi Kivity <[email protected]> Date: Sun Dec 21 18:31:10 2008 +0200 KVM: MMU: Don't treat a global pte as such if cr4.pge is cleared The pte.g bit is meaningless if global pages are disabled; deferring mmu page synchronization on these ptes will lead to the guest using stale shadow ptes. Fixes Vista x86 smp bootloader failure.

This is important for Linux 32-bit guests with PAE, where the kmap page is marked as global.
