Subject: KVM: MMU: using __xchg_spte more smarter
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a3aad70572c3f4d55e7f09ac4eb313d41d0a484;p=linux-beck.git

KVM: MMU: using __xchg_spte more smarter

Sometimes, atomically set spte is not needed, this patch call __xchg_spte()
more smartly

Note: if the old mapping's access bit is already set, we no need atomic operation
since the access bit is not lost
