[PATCH v4 05/13] KVM: x86/mmu: Drop access tracking checks when clearing TDP MMU dirty bits

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Mar 21 2023 - 18:00:51 EST


From: Vipin Sharma <vipinsh@xxxxxxxxxx>

Drop the unnecessary call to handle access-tracking changes when clearing
the dirty status of TDP MMU SPTEs. Neither the Dirty bit nor the Writable
bit has any impact on the accessed state of a page, i.e. clearing only
the aforementioned bits doesn't make an accessed SPTE suddently not
accessed.
