A secure guest will share some of its pages with hypervisor (Eg. virtio bounce buffers etc). Support shared pages in HMM driver. Signed-off-by: Bharata B Rao <redacted>Comments below...quoted

Surely in general the secure guest will expect to be able to write to the shared page? Also, in general get_user_pages_fast isn't sufficient to translate a host virtual address (derived from a guest real address) into a pfn. See for example hva_to_pfn() in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c and the things it does to cope with the various cases that one can hit. I can imagine in future that the secure guest might want to establish a shared mapping to a PCI device, for instance.
I switched to using gfn_to_pfn() which should cover all the cases.

Yes, missed it. Regards, Bharata.
