Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM, x86/mmu: Fix the comment around kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_leafs()
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 12:44:52 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220713004452.7631-1-kai.huang@intel.com> (raw)

Now kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_leafs() only zaps leaf SPTEs but not any non-root
pages within that GFN range anymore, so the comment around it isn't
right.

Fix it by shifting the comment from tdp_mmu_zap_leafs() instead of
duplicating it, as tdp_mmu_zap_leafs() is static and is only called by
kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_leafs().

Opportunistically tweak the blurb about SPTEs being cleared to (a) say
"zapped" instead of "cleared" because "cleared" will be wrong if/when
KVM allows a non-zero value for non-present SPTE (i.e. for Intel TDX),
and (b) to clarify that a flush is needed if and only if a SPTE has been
zapped since MMU lock was last acquired.

Fixes: f47e5bbbc92f ("KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only TDP MMU leafs in zap range and mmu_notifier unmap")
