Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] kvm: x86: mmu: Introduce a no-tracking version of mmu_spte_update
Date: Tue,  6 Dec 2016 16:46:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481071577-40250-6-git-send-email-junaids@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481071577-40250-1-git-send-email-junaids@google.com>

mmu_spte_update() tracks changes in the accessed/dirty state of
the SPTE being updated and calls kvm_set_pfn_accessed/dirty
appropriately. However, in some cases (e.g. when aging the SPTE),
this shouldn't be done. mmu_spte_update_no_track() is introduced
for use in such cases.
