Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] KVM: SEV: Make it more obvious when KVM is writing back the current PSC index
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:10:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831211010.1798943-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026083135-thud-surplus-53de@gregkh>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 17d62e0b157f262dd8c7586cb882ece72a5b10c2 ]
Increment the guest-visible "cur_entry" index outside of the for-loop
when processing Page State Change entries, and add a comment to make it
more obvious which code is operating on trusted data, and which code is
touching guest-accessible data.
No functional change intended.
