[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't step down in the TDP iterator when zapping all SPTEs

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Aug 12 2021 - 01:07:30 EST


Set the min_level for the TDP iterator at the root level when zapping all
SPTEs so that the _iterator_ only processes top-level SPTEs. Zapping a
non-leaf SPTE will recursively zap all its children, thus there is no
need for the iterator to attempt to step down. This avoids rereading all
the top-level SPTEs after they are zapped by causing try_step_down() to
short-circuit.
