If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit de4f8e1d8284e0976baa40ef79d6e0f6cbf5c6c6 Author: Ben Gardon <bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 2 10:57:08 2021 -0800 KVM: x86/mmu: Add comment on __tdp_mmu_set_spte [ Upstream commit fe43fa2f407b9d513f7bcf18142e14e1bf1508d6 ] __tdp_mmu_set_spte is a very important function in the TDP MMU which already accepts several arguments and will take more in future commits. To offset this complexity, add a comment to the function describing each of the arguemnts. No functional change intended.
