Now, all non-leaf shadow page are page tracked, if gfn is not tracked
there is no non-leaf shadow page of gfn is existed, we can directly
make the shadow page of gfn to unsync

How about moving this right before for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp? As can_unsync is passed as parameter, so there's no point checking it several times.

A further thinking is can we move it to mmu_need_write_protect? Passing can_unsync as parameter to kvm_unsync_pages sounds a little bit odd.

+
          if (s->unsync)
              continue;
          WARN_ON(s->role.level != PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL);
How about large page mapping? Such as if guest uses 2M mapping and its shadow is indirect, does above WARN_ON still meet? As you removed the PT level check in mmu_need_write_protect.

Thanks,

Btw I also think this patch can be merged with patch 6.

Thanks,
