[PATCH] KVM: MMU: fix comment in kvm_mmu_zap_collapsible_spte

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Soft mmu uses direct shadow page to fill guest large mapping with small pages
if huge mamping is disallowed on host. So zapping direct shadow page works well
both for soft mmu and hard mmu

Fix the comment to reflect this truth
