[PATCH v3 5/6] KVM: Documentation: Add the missing description for mmu_valid_gen into kvm_mmu_page

[Mingwei Zhang]

Add the description for mmu_valid_gen into kvm_mmu_page description.
mmu_valid_gen is used in shadow MMU for fast zapping. Update the doc to
reflect that.

     The page is not backed by a guest page table, but its first entry
     points to one.  This is set if NPT uses 5-level page tables (host
     CR4.LA57=1) and is shadowing L1's 4-level NPT (L1 CR4.LA57=1).
+  mmu_valid_gen:
+    The MMU generation of this page, used to fast zap of all MMU pages within a
+    VM without blocking vCPUs. Specifically, KVM updates the per-VM valid MMU
+    generation which causes the mismatch of mmu_valid_gen for each mmu page.
+    This makes all existing MMU pages obsolete. Obsolete pages can't be used.
+    Therefore, vCPUs must load a new, valid root before re-entering the guest.
+    The MMU generation is only ever '0' or '1'.  Note, the TDP MMU doesn't use
+    this field as non-root TDP MMU pages are reachable only from their owning
+    root.  Thus it suffices for TDP MMU to use role.invalid in root pages to
+    invalidate all MMU pages.
   gfn:
     Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this
     page, or the base page frame for linear translations.  See role.direct.
