Re: [Xen-devel] XENFEAT_writable_pagetables vs VMASST_TYPE_writable_page

This works everywhere, except the call at the bottom of pgd_walk()

Can you tell me why linux/xen/the wrpt implementation cannot handle
the unpinned pgd being mapped read-only like this?

I'll need to see a backtrace, or at least the particular error message from Xen.
