Subject: [PATCH v5 03/15] KVM: arm64: Introduce a dedicated walker for stage2 write-protect
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 18:36:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929103655.85107-4-zhengtian10@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929103655.85107-1-zhengtian10@huawei.com>
From: Leonardo Bras <leo.bras@arm.com>
The new walker cleans the dirty bit on leaf entries, as well as clean
the DBM bit in blocks so it still faults for lazy hugepage splitting when
we enable FEAT_HDBSS in future patches.
With disabled HDBSS, there should be no change in faulting behavior.
