Subject: [PATCH] x86/sev: Remove bogus virtual address check
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:10:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251010151036.42241-2-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The AES-GCM crypto library operates strictly on virtual addresses, and
never performs any H/W offload, and so calling virt_addr_valid() is not
needed.
