Rename and refactor kvm_is_reserved_pfn() to kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page() to better reflect what KVM is actually checking, and to eliminate extra pfn_to_page() lookups. The kvm_release_pfn_*() an kvm_try_get_pfn() helpers in particular benefit from "refouncted" nomenclature, as it's not all that obvious why KVM needs to get/put refcounts for some PG_reserved pages (ZERO_PAGE and ZONE_DEVICE). Add a comment to call out that the list of exceptions to PG_reserved is all but guaranteed to be incomplete. The list has mostly been compiled by people throwing noodles at KVM and finding out they stick a little too well, e.g. the ZERO_PAGE's refcount overflowed and ZONE_DEVICE pages didn't get freed. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Message-Id: <20220429010416.2788472-10-seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
