No.
The previous patch, "KVM: Provide common implementation for generic dirty
log functions", is consolidating the implementation of dirty log functions
for architectures with CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT=y.
This code is being moved from s390's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log(), as s390
doesn't select KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT. It's functionally a nop
as kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() is empty for PowerPC, the only other arch that
doesn't select KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT.
Arguably, the call to kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() should be moved in a
separate prep patch. It can't be a follow-on patch as that would swap the
ordering of kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() and kvm_dirty_bitmap_bytes(), etc...
My reasoning for not splitting it to a separate patch is that prior to this
patch, the common code and arch specific code are doing separate memslot
lookups via id_to_memslot(), i.e. moving the kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() call
would operate on a "different" memslot. It can't actually be a different
memslot because slots_lock is held, it just felt weird.
All that being said, I don't have a strong opinion on moving the call to
kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() in a separate patch; IIRC, I vascillated between
the two options when writing the code. If anyone wants it to be a separate
patch I'll happily split it out.
