Trigger KVM's various "unprotect gfn" paths if and only if the page fault
was a write to a write-protected gfn. To do so, add a new page fault
return code, RET_PF_WRITE_PROTECTED, to explicitly and precisely track
such page faults.
If a page fault requires emulation for any MMIO (or any reason besides
write-protection), trying to unprotect the gfn is pointless and risks
putting the vCPU into an infinite loop. E.g. KVM will put the vCPU into
an infinite loop if the vCPU manages to trigger MMIO on a page table walk.

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.
