Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Compare the entire XSAVE buffer in the SEV smoke test
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 12:40:26 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807071026.195503-1-gokul02k@gmail.com> (raw)

compare_xsave() stops at index 4094, so the last byte of the XSAVE state
is never compared.  Both buffers handed to it are 4096 bytes: the host
copy is a struct kvm_xsave, whose region[] member is 1024 u32s, and the
guest copy is the PAGE_SIZE shared page that guest_code_xsave() runs
XSAVE into.  A VMSA synchronization bug that corrupted only that final
byte would go unreported and the test would still pass.

Bound the loop with sizeof(struct kvm_xsave) rather than an open-coded
length, and make the index unsigned so it does not mix signedness with
sizeof.

Fixes: 8c53183dbaa2 ("selftests: kvm: add test for transferring FPU state into VMSA")
