This change started as a way to make kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust a bit simpler,
but it does fix two bugs as well.
One bug is in zapping collapsible PTEs. If a large page size is
disallowed but not all of them, kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level will return the
host mapping level and the small PTEs will be zapped up to that level.
However, if e.g. 1GB are prohibited, we can still zap 4KB mapping and
preserve the 2MB ones. This can happen for example when NX huge pages
are in use.
The second would happen when userspace backs guest memory
with a 1gb hugepage but only assign a subset of the page to
the guest. 1gb pages would be disallowed by the memslot, but
not 2mb. kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level() would fall through to the
host_pfn_mapping_level() logic, see the 1gb hugepage, and map the whole
thing into the guest.

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.
