Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: VMX: Move VMREAD cleanup to exception handler
Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 10:13:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1305468793-2151-2-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1305468793-2151-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>

We clean up a failed VMREAD by clearing the output register.  Do
it in the exception handler instead of unconditionally.  This is
worthwhile since there are more than a hundred call sites.
