[RFC PATCH v3 35/59] KVM: x86/mmu: Return old SPTE from mmu_spte_clear_track_bits()

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Wed Nov 24 2021 - 19:24:10 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.
