Bail from fast_page_fault() if the SPTE is not a shadow-present SPTE. Functionally, this is not strictly necessary as the !is_access_allowed() check will eventually reject the fast path, but an early check on shadow-present skips unnecessary checks and will allow a future patch to tweak the A/D status auditing to warn if KVM attempts to query A/D bits without first ensuring the SPTE is a shadow-present SPTE. Note, is_shadow_present_pte() is quite expensive at this time, i.e. this might be a net negative in the short term. A future patch will optimize is_shadow_present_pte() to a single AND operation and remedy the issue.

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.
