When using manual protection of dirty pages, it is not necessary
to protect nested page tables down to the 4K level; instead KVM
can protect only hugepages in order to split them lazily, and
delay write protection at 4K-granularity until KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
This was overlooked in the TDP MMU, so do it there as well.

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.
