Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y v4 04/11] KVM: X86: Remove useless code to set role.gpte_is_8_bytes when role.direct
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:44:20 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928164427.4699-5-k@mgml.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928164427.4699-1-k@mgml.me>

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

commit 41e35604eaff2266ba8523787ebe99c5ca4c4045 upstream.

role.gpte_is_8_bytes is unused when role.direct; there is no
point in changing a bit in the role, the value that was set
when the MMU is initialized is just fine.
