Message-Id: <1208423450-29415-24-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:10:28 +0300 From: Avi Kivity <avi@...ranet.com> To: kvm-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 23/45] KVM: MMU: Only mark_page_accessed() if the page was accessed by the guest If the accessed bit is not set, the guest has never accessed this page (at least through this spte), so there's no need to mark the page accessed. This provides more accurate data for the eviction algortithm. Noted by Andrea Arcangeli.
