Instead of simply treating a prefetch fault as spurious when there's a shadow-present old SPTE, further check if the old SPTE is leaf to determine if a prefetch fault is spurious. It's not reasonable to treat a prefetch fault as spurious when there's a shadow-present non-leaf SPTE without a corresponding shadow-present leaf SPTE. e.g., in the following sequence, a prefetch fault should not be considered spurious: 1. add a memslot with size 4K 2. prefault GPA A in the memslot 3. delete the memslot (zap all disabled) 4. re-add the memslot with size 2M 5. prefault GPA A again. In step 5, the prefetch fault attempts to install a 2M huge entry. Since step 3 zaps the leaf SPTE for GPA A while keeping the non-leaf SPTE, the leaf entry will remain empty after step 5 if the fetch fault is regarded as spurious due to a shadow-present non-leaf SPTE.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
