Hi Vitaly,

Have a question about page ready events.

Now we deliver PAGE_NOT_PRESENT page faults only if guest is not in
kernel mode. So say kernel tried to access a page and we halted cpu.
When page is available, we will inject page_ready interrupt. At
that time we don't seem to check whether page_not_present was injected
or not.

IOW, we seem to deliver page_ready irrespective of the fact whether
PAGE_NOT_PRESENT was delivered or not. And that means we will be
sending page present tokens to guest. Guest will not have a state
associated with that token and think that page_not_present has
not been delivered yet and allocate an element in hash table for
future page_not_present event. And that will lead to memory leak
and token conflict etc.

While setting up async pf, should we keep track whether associated
page_not_present was delivered to guest or not and deliver page_ready
accordingly.

Thanks
Vivek
