[PATCH 05/13] KVM: x86/mmu: comment for_each_tdp_mmu_root requires MMU write lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, iterating over the list of TDP MMU roots can only be done
under the MMU write lock, but that will change in future commits. Add a
defensive comment to for_each_tdp_mmu_root noting that it must only be
used under the MMU lock in write mode. That function will not be
modified to work under the lock in read mode.
