Subject: [PATCH v9 08/21] KVM: x86: Move "no master clock" fallback from __get_kvmclock() to get_kvmclock()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:54:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810225500.869288-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810225500.869288-1-seanjc@google.com>
Move the fallback logic for getting the current kvmclock when not in master
clock mode out of __get_kvmclock() and into its sole caller, get_kvmclock().
This will allow using early-return logic in the master clock code, without
having to resort to a do-while() loop and/or gotos.
No functional change intended.
