Re: [Xen-devel] update_va_mapping_otherdomain

["Michael R. Hines" <mhines@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, if I would like to use dom0 to modify a specific L1 PTE belonging
to another unprivileged domain, what's the best way to go about it?

Grant references? (on L1 page tables?)

Might I be able to get a quick pointer on the right sequence of hypercalls?

Much appreciated,
- Michael
