role.direct, role.invalid?

Well, role.direct cannot be unsync. But that's not something we want to rely on.

This patch looks good too.

Some completely unrelated ideas:

- replace mmu_zap_page() calls in __kvm_sync_page() by setting role.invalid instead. This reduces problems with the hash list being modified while we manipulate it. - add a for_each_shadow_page_direct() { ... } and for_each_shadow_page_indirect() { ... } to replace the hlist_for_each_entry_safe()s.
- add kvm_tlb_gather() to reduce IPIs from kvm_mmu_zap_page()
- clear spte.accessed on speculative sptes (for example from invlpg) so the swapper won't keep them in ram unnecessarily

Again, completely unrelated to this patch set, just wrong them down so I don't forget them and to get your opinion.
