From 66d73e12f2786497424cb611b359e3580978cad7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Feiner Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 10:45:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: X86: MMU: no mmu_notifier_seq++ in kvm_age_hva MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The MMU notifier sequence number keeps GPA->HPA mappings in sync when GPA->HPA lookups are done outside of the MMU lock (e.g., in tdp_page_fault). Since kvm_age_hva doesn't change GPA->HPA, it's unnecessary to increment the sequence number.
