[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] pseries: Allow writes to KVM accelerated TCE table

[David Gibson]

Sufficiently recent kernels include a KVM call to accelerate use of
PAPR TCE tables (IOMMU), which are used by PAPR virtual IO devices.
This involves qemu mapping the TCE table in from a kernel obtained fd,
which currently we do with PROT_READ only.  This is a hangover from
early (never released) versions of this kernel interface which only
permitted read-only mappings and required us to destroy and recreate
the table when we needed to clear it from qemu.

Now, the kernel permits read-write mappings, and we rely on this to
clear the table in spapr_vio_quiesce_one().  However, due to
insufficient testing, I forgot to update the actual mapping of the
table in kvmppc_create_spapr_tce() to add PROT_WRITE to the mmap().

This patch corrects the oversight.
