There are two capabilities related to ring-based dirty page tracking:
KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING and KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL. Both are
supported by x86. However, arm64 supports KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL
only when the feature is supported on arm64. The userspace doesn't have
to enable the advertised capability, meaning KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING can
be enabled on arm64 by userspace and it's wrong.
Fix it by double checking if the capability has been advertised prior to
enabling it. It's rejected to enable the capability if it hasn't been
advertised.
Fixes: 17601bfed9 ("KVM: Add KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL capability and config option")

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.
