[PATCH v2 3/5] KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: WARN if PFN changes for spurious faults

From: Yan Zhao
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 21:35:01 EST


Add a WARN() to assert that KVM does _not_ change the PFN of a
shadow-present SPTE during spurious fault handling.

KVM should _never_ change the PFN of a shadow-present SPTE and TDP MMU
already BUG()s on this. However, spurious faults just return early before
the existing BUG() could be hit.
