Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Use try_cmpxchg64 in tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic
Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 15:51:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220518135111.3535-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old in
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic.  cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg). Also, remove explicit assignment to iter->old_spte
when cmpxchg fails, this is what try_cmpxchg does implicitly.
