[PATCH 5.10 093/126] KVM: x86/mmu: Dont redundantly clear TDP MMU pt memory

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

 



From: Ben Gardon <bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 734e45b329d626d2c14e2bcf8be3d069a33c3316 ]

The KVM MMU caches already guarantee that shadow page table memory will
be zeroed, so there is no reason to re-zero the page in the TDP MMU page
fault handler.

No functional change intended.
