[ Upstream commita1040b0d42] Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for a struct page with PG_reserved set, i.e. don't set A/D bits for the ZERO_PAGE. The ZERO_PAGE (or pages depending on the architecture) should obviously never be written, and similarly there's no point in marking it accessed as the page will never be swapped out or reclaimed. The comment in page-flags.h is quite clear that PG_reserved pages should be managed only by their owner, and strictly following that mandate also simplifies KVM's logic.

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.
