[PATCH v13 03/85] KVM: Add kvm_release_page_unused() API to put pages that KVM never consumes
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 14:25:57 EST
Add an API to release an unused page, i.e. to put a page without marking
it accessed or dirty. The API will be used when KVM faults-in a page but
bails before installing the guest mapping (and other similar flows).
