Subject: [Patch v3 1/7] KVM: x86/mmu: Add a helper function to check if an SPTE needs atomic write
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 17:46:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230211014626.3659152-2-vipinsh@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230211014626.3659152-1-vipinsh@google.com>

Move conditions in kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte() to check if an SPTE should
be written atomically or not to a separate function.

This new function, kvm_tdp_mmu_spte_need_atomic_write(),  will be used
in future commits to optimize clearing bits in SPTEs.
