Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: nSVM: Use intuitive local variables in recalc_intercepts()
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:20:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112182022.771276-2-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112182022.771276-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

recalc_intercepts() currently uses c, h, g as local variables for the
control area of the current VMCB, vmcb01, and (cached) vmcb12.

The current VMCB should always be vmcb02 when recalc_intercepts() is
executed in guest mode. Use vmcb01/vmcb02 local variables instead to
make it clear the function is updating intercepts in vmcb02 based on the
intercepts in vmcb01 and (cached) vmcb12.

Add a WARNING() if the current VMCB is not in fact vmcb02.

No functional change intended.
