Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] KVM: selftests: Use a loop to walk guest page tables
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:30:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028225827.2269128-3-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028225827.2269128-1-jmattson@google.com>
Walk the guest page tables via a loop when searching for a PTE,
instead of using unique variables for each level of the page tables.
This simplifies the code and makes it easier to support 5-level paging
in the future.
