WARN and bail out of recover_huge_pages_range() if dirty logging is enabled. KVM shouldn't be recovering huge pages during dirty logging anyway, since KVM needs to track writes at 4KiB. However it's not out of the possibility that that changes in the future. If KVM wants to recover huge pages during dirty logging, make_huge_spte() must be updated to write-protect the new huge page mapping. Otherwise, writes through the newly recovered huge page mapping will not be tracked. Note that this potential risk did not exist back when KVM zapped to recover huge page mappings, since subsequent accesses would just be faulted in at PG_LEVEL_4K if dirty logging was enabled.

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 reStructuredText 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.
