    KVM: x86/mmu: Don't treat fully writable SPTEs as volatile (modulo A/D) · 706c9c55
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Don't treat SPTEs that are truly writable, i.e. writable in hardware, as
    being volatile (unless they're volatile for other reasons, e.g. A/D bits).
    KVM _sets_ the WRITABLE bit out of mmu_lock, but never _clears_ the bit
    out of mmu_lock, so if the WRITABLE bit is set, it cannot magically get
    cleared just because the SPTE is MMU-writable.
    
    Rename the wrapper of MMU-writable to be more literal, the previous name
    of spte_can_locklessly_be_made_writable() is wrong and misleading.
    
    Fixes: c7ba5b48 ("KVM: MMU: fast path of handling guest page fault")
