Instead of add a new mmu_*op, I try to change the MMU_NORMAL_PT_UPDATE to support update foreign page table. There will be some restirction for it, including the pagetable and the new mfn pointed should be owned by same domain, and the domain should be suspeneded already. The update_foregin_pt.patch is for this. I'm not sure if this method is feasible. The exchange_page.patch is to replace a mfn with a new one. Although there is already a memory_exchange hypercall, but that hypercall will not accept new page, add that support will break current ABI. Also it does not support foreign domain. This function add those support The other two have not much changes. The only change is the user space tools need two hypercall, one is to update the page table, while the second is to exchange the pages. Please have a look on it. Thanks Yunhong Jiang Attachment:
