[RFC PATCH 40/67] KVM: x86/mmu: Return old SPTE from mmu_spte_clear_track_bits()

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Mon Nov 16 2020 - 13:31:20 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

Return the old SPTE when clearing a SPTE and push the "old SPTE present"
check to the caller. Private shadow page support will use the old SPTE
in rmap_remove() to determine whether or not there is a linked private
shadow page.
