pointing to them. A TLB flush is only issued by Xen (if needed) when the
page is re-used. Since it's possible for the page to be scrubbed ahead of
the TLB flush, there's a window where a PV guest can modify an already
scrubbed page.

| Description | x86 PV guests can free memory pages while still keeping a stale TLB entry pointing to them. A TLB flush is only issued by Xen (if needed) when the page is re-used. Since it's possible for the page to be scrubbed ahead of the TLB flush, there's a window where a PV guest can modify an already scrubbed page. | |
