[PATCH 3/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix and clarify comments about clearing D-bit vs. write-protecting

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

 



Drop the "If AD bits are enabled/disabled" verbiage from the comments
above kvm_tdp_mmu_clear_dirty_{slot,pt_masked}() since TDP MMU SPTEs may
need to be write-protected even when A/D bits are enabled. i.e. These
comments aren't technically correct.

No functional change intended.
