Subject[PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: Documentation: Add the missing description for mmu_valid_gen into kvm_mmu_page
From
Add the description for mmu_valid_gen into kvm_mmu_page description.
mmu_valid_gen is used in shadow MMU for fast zapping. Update the doc to
reflect that.

@@ -208,6 +208,10 @@ Shadow pages contain the following information:
The page is not backed by a guest page table, but its first entry
points to one. This is set if NPT uses 5-level page tables (host
CR4.LA57=1) and is shadowing L1's 4-level NPT (L1 CR4.LA57=1).
+ mmu_valid_gen:
+ Used by comparing against kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen to check whether the
+ shadow page is obsolete thus a convenient variable for fast zapping.
+ Note that TDP MMU does not use mmu_valid_gen.
gfn:
Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this
page, or the base page frame for linear translations. See role.direct.
