[PATCH v4 12/13] KVM: x86/mmu: Remove handle_changed_spte_dirty_log()

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Mar 21 2023 - 18:01:48 EST


From: Vipin Sharma <vipinsh@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove handle_changed_spte_dirty_log() as there is no code flow which
sets 4KiB SPTE writable and hit this path. This function marks the page
dirty in a memslot only if new SPTE is 4KiB in size and writable.

Current users of handle_changed_spte_dirty_log() are:
1. set_spte_gfn() - Create only non writable SPTEs.
2. write_protect_gfn() - Change an SPTE to non writable.
3. zap leaf and roots APIs - Everything is 0.
4. handle_removed_pt() - Sets SPTEs to REMOVED_SPTE
5. tdp_mmu_link_sp() - Makes non leaf SPTEs.

There is also no path which creates a writable 4KiB without going
through make_spte() and this functions takes care of marking SPTE dirty
in the memslot if it is PT_WRITABLE.
