Re: [Xen-devel] Sources of page dirtying for HVM domains in Xen 3.2.x
Argh. Forgot to reply to the list. Sorry about that Ian.

And the emulated writes to guest PTs as well, correct?
One confusing thing is that it seems that since _sh_propagate() is
called before the emulated write or MMIO write that the page_dirty()
would already be called and that the page_dirty() called after the
emulated write is redundant? I'm probably missing something though.

Any way I can have Qemu not do DMA?
Essentially I'm looking for a clean way of doing a copy-on-write on a
guest domain's memory pages. The log-dirty mode seems most
appropriate, but I have to make sure I can copy the page before it's
dirtied/modified. Have any good suggestions.
