Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 06/45] KVM: x86/mmu: Fold set_external_spte_present() into its sole caller
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:14:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129011517.3545883-7-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129011517.3545883-1-seanjc@google.com>
Fold set_external_spte_present() into __tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() in
anticipation of supporting hugepage splitting, at which point other paths
will also set shadow-present external SPTEs.
No functional change intended.
