Don't force SPTE modifications to be done atomically if the only volatile bit in the SPTE is the Accessed bit. KVM and the primary MMU tolerate stale aging state, and the probability of an Accessed bit A/D assist being clobbered *and* affecting again is likely far lower than the probability of consuming stale information due to not flushing TLBs when aging. Rename spte_has_volatile_bits() to spte_needs_atomic_update() to better capture the nature of the helper. Opportunstically do s/write/update on the TDP MMU wrapper, as it's not simply the "write" that needs to be done atomically, it's the entire update, i.e. the entire read-modify-write operation needs to be done atomically so that KVM has an accurate view of the old SPTE. Leave kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte_atomic() as is. While the name is imperfect, it pairs with kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte(), which in turn pairs with kvm_tdp_mmu_read_spte(). And renaming all of those isn't obviously a net positive, and would require significant churn.

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.
