Subject: [PATCH v3 08/13] KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmclear() succeeds
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:39:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826233919.998904-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826233919.998904-1-seanjc@google.com>
Continue removing dead error "handling", and assert that VMCLEAR
succeeds instead of forcing callers of load_vmcs() to assert success.
For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended.
