[PATCH v4 25/30] KVM: x86/mmu: Check for a REMOVED leaf SPTE before making the SPTE

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Explicitly check for a REMOVED leaf SPTE prior to attempting to map
the final SPTE when handling a TDP MMU fault.  Functionally, this is a
nop as tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() will eventually detect the frozen SPTE.
Pre-checking for a REMOVED SPTE is a minor optmization, but the real goal
is to allow tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() to have an invariant that the "old"
SPTE is never a REMOVED SPTE.
