This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for ZERO_PAGE to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-don-t-set-accessed-dirty-bits-for-zero_page.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3264d8ebcbd8ce94ad77e4f218d175a952cc9d49 Author: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 29 01:04:09 2022 +0000 KVM: Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for ZERO_PAGE [ Upstream commit a1040b0d42acf69bb4f6dbdc54c2dcd78eea1de5 ] Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for a struct page with PG_reserved set, i.e. don't set A/D bits for the ZERO_PAGE. The ZERO_PAGE (or pages depending on the architecture) should obviously never be written, and similarly there's no point in marking it accessed as the page will never be swapped out or reclaimed. The comment in page-flags.h is quite clear that PG_reserved pages should be managed only by their owner, and strictly following that mandate also simplifies KVM's logic.
