Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/sev: Remove obsolete virtual address check
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:53:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722025338.33354-3-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722025338.33354-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Virtual addresses used with the AES-GCM library don't have to be in the
linear mapping. Remove the virt_addr_valid() checks from
snp_send_guest_request(), which were a workaround left over from when
this code used crypto_aead, which required scatterlists.
