[PATCH 02/10] KVM: Drop bogus "pfn != 0" guard from kvm_release_pfn()

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

 



Remove a check from kvm_release_pfn() to bail if the provided @pfn is
zero.  Zero is a perfectly valid pfn on most architectures, and should
not be used to indicate an error or an invalid pfn.  The bogus check was
added by commit 917248144db5 ("x86/kvm: Cache gfn to pfn translation"),
which also did the bad thing of zeroing the pfn and gfn to mark a cache
invalid.  Thankfully, that bad behavior was axed by commit 357a18ad230f
("KVM: Kill kvm_map_gfn() / kvm_unmap_gfn() and gfn_to_pfn_cache").
