Documentation/process/maintainer-kvm-x86.rst And I would argue this changelog is misleading. I was expecting that the patch would actually change the number of roots that KVM caches, whereas this simply increases the capacity. The changelog should also mention that the whole reason for doing so is to allow for a module param. Something like: KVM: x86/mmu: Expand max capacity of per-MMU CR3/PGD caches Expand the maximum capacity of the "previous roots" cache in kvm_mmu so that a future patch can make the number of roots configurable via module param, without needing to dynamically allocate the array. That said, I hope we can avoid this entirely. More in the next patch.
