Subject: kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Git-commit: a340b3e229b24a56f1c7f5826b15a3af0f4b13e5
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: bsc#1186482, CVE-2021-22543

For EPT-violations that are triggered by a read, the pages are also mapped with
write permissions (if their memory region is also writable). That would avoid
getting yet another fault on the same page when a write occurs.

This optimization only happens when you have a "struct page" backing the memory
region. So also enable it for memory regions that do not have a "struct page".
