Currently KVM only zaps collapsible 4KiB SPTEs in the shadow MMU. This is fine for now since KVM never creates intermediate huge pages during dirty logging. In other words, KVM always replaces 1GiB pages directly with 4KiB pages, so there is no reason to look for collapsible 2MiB pages. However, this will stop being true once the shadow MMU participates in eager page splitting. During eager page splitting, each 1GiB is first split into 2MiB pages and then those are split into 4KiB pages. The intermediate 2MiB pages may be left behind if an error condition causes eager page splitting to bail early. No functional change intended.

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.
