Subject: [PATCH v2 08/20] KVM: x86/xen: Explicitly tag "shared info" page as never being dirty tracked
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 09:51:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529165114.748639-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529165114.748639-1-seanjc@google.com>

Explicitly mark the Xen shared info page as never being dirty tracked so
that higher-level gpc APIs can be added to automatically take care of
things like dirty tracking, without reintroducing the bug fixed by commit
55749769fe60 ("KVM: x86: Fix wall clock writes in Xen shared_info not to
mark page dirty").  And because the code _looks_ buggy.

No functional change intended.
