In kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), tlbs_dirty is used as:
need_tlb_flush |= kvm->tlbs_dirty;
with need_tlb_flush's type being int and tlbs_dirty's type being long.
It means that tlbs_dirty is always used as int and the higher 32 bits
is useless. We need to check tlbs_dirty in a correct way and this
change checks it directly without propagating it to need_tlb_flush.
Note: it's _extremely_ unlikely this neglecting of higher 32 bits can
cause problems in practice. It would require encountering tlbs_dirty
on a 4 billion count boundary, and KVM would need to be using shadow
paging or be running a nested guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
