Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] KVM: nSVM: Simplify error handling of nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache()
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 21:08:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306210900.1933788-3-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306210900.1933788-1-yosry@kernel.org>
nested_svm_vmrun() currently stores the return value of
nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() in a local variable 'err', separate
from the generally used 'ret' variable. This is done to have a single
call to kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(), such that we can store the
return value of kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in 'ret', and then
re-check the return value of nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() in 'err'.
The code is unnecessarily confusing. Instead, call
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in the failure path of
nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() if the return value is not -EFAULT,
and drop 'err'.
