Re: [edk2-devel] [Patch V4] UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm:Fix PF issue caused by smm page table code

[duntan]

Comparing to V2 and V3 patch, this v4 patch only adds some new comments and removes some trailing white spaces.

Thanks, 
Dun

Subject: [edk2-devel] [Patch V4] UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm:Fix PF issue caused by smm page table code

When setting new page table pool to RO, only disable/enable WP when Cr0.WP has been set to 1 to fix potential PF caused by b822be1a20
(UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Introduce page table pool mechanism).
With previous code, if someone want to modify the page table and Cr0.WP has been cleared before modify page table, Cr0.WP may be set to 1 again since new pool may be generated during this process Then PF fault may happens.
