Subject: [PATCH v5 10/13] KVM: selftests: Refactor allocating guest stack into a helper
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:27:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430202750.3924147-11-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430202750.3924147-1-yosry@kernel.org>
In preparation for reusing the logic to allocate stacks for nested
guests, refactoring allocating a guest stack and aligning RSP into a
helper.
No functional change intended.
