Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: SVM: Drop unnecessary avic_vm_destroy() call on init failure
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 15:09:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625220933.3357733-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625220933.3357733-1-seanjc@google.com>
Don't bother calling avic_vm_destroy() when allocating the logical ID table
fails, as there is nothing to clean up now that the physical ID table is
allocated later, on-demand at first vCPU creation.
For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended, as calling
avic_vm_destroy() is a big nop in this case.
Fixes: 54ffe74cc4ab ("KVM: SVM: Move AVIC Physical ID table allocation to vcpu_precreate()")
