Maybe I am missing something, the statement above was executed for
either set or clr but the page shared need to happen only for clr. So,
from code readability point I kept it outside of that if().

Otherwise we may have to do something like.

...

if ((set | clr) & _PAGE_EN) {

   if (clr)

    snp_set_page_shared(pte_pfn(*ptep) << PAGE_SHIFT);

  }

I am okay with above is the preferred approach.

I guess I still kept the "snp" prefix because vmgexit was named that
way. Based on your feedback, I am droping the "SNP" prefix from the
VMGEXIT and will update it as well.

Noted.
