The Nest MMU workaround is only needed for RW upgrades. Avoid doing that for other PTE updates. We also avoid clearing the PTE while marking it invalid. This is because other page table walkers will find this PTE none and can result in unexpected behaviour due to that. Instead we clear _PAGE_PRESENT and set the software PTE bit _PAGE_INVALID. pte_present() is already updated to check for both bits. This makes sure page table walkers will find the PTE present and things like pte_pfn(pte) returns the right value.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
