Subject: [PATCH v7 7/9] KVM: Documentation: document KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE for SVM
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:40:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327234023.2659476-8-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327234023.2659476-1-jmattson@google.com>

Document the nested state constants and structures for SVM that were
added by commit cc440cdad5b7 ("KVM: nSVM: implement KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE").

Fixes: cc440cdad5b7 ("KVM: nSVM: implement KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE")
