Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] KVM: Documentation: Add the missing description for tdp_mmu_root_count into kvm_mmu_page
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 18:20:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230626182016.4127366-5-mizhang@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230626182016.4127366-1-mizhang@google.com>
Add the description of tdp_mmu_root_count into kvm_mmu_page description.
tdp_mmu_root_count is an atomic counter used only in TDP MMU. Its usage and
meaning is slightly different with root_counter in shadow MMU. Update the
doc.
