Topup memory caches after walking the GVA->GPA translation during a
shadow page fault, there is no need to ensure the caches are full when
walking the GVA. As of commit f5a1e9f895 ("KVM: MMU: remove call
to kvm_mmu_pte_write from walk_addr"), the FNAME(walk_addr) flow no
longer add rmaps via kvm_mmu_pte_write().
This avoids allocating memory in the case that the GVA is unmapped in
the guest, and also provides a paper trail of why/when the memory caches
need to be filled.

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.
