No, gfn_to_pfn_prot() == FOLL_GET, kfp->pin == FOLL_PIN. But that's not really
relevant.

No, the conflict with dirty logging is specifically that this code doesn't
invoke
mark_page_dirty(). And it can't easily do that, because there's no loaded
("running")
vCPU, i.e. doing so would trip this WARN:
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu && vcpu->kvm != kvm))
return;
WARN_ON_ONCE(!vcpu && !kvm_arch_allow_write_without_running_vcpu(kvm));
<====
#endif
