[PATCH v2 21/22] KVM: x86/mmu: Detect if unprotect will do anything based on invalid_list

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

 



Explicitly query the list of to-be-zapped shadow pages when checking to
see if unprotecting a gfn for retry has succeeded, i.e. if KVM should
retry the faulting instruction.

Add a comment to explain why the list needs to be checked before zapping,
which is the primary motivation for this change.

No functional change intended.
