From d14769377a247d4e7b570592a090474c8a059938 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takuya Yoshikawa Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 17:48:35 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Remove test-before-set optimization for dirty bits As Avi pointed out, testing bit part in mark_page_dirty() was important in the days of shadow paging, but currently EPT and NPT has already become common and the chance of faulting a page more that once per iteration is small. So let's remove the test bit to avoid extra access.
