I know that you later add a patch which adds a similar warning, but I prefer that you fold it with this patch. > } > > void avic_init_vmcb(struct vcpu_svm *svm, struct vmcb *vmcb) > @@ -305,8 +305,6 @@ static int avic_init_backing_page(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) > return ret; > } > > - svm->avic_backing_page = virt_to_page(vcpu->arch.apic->regs); > - > /* Setting AVIC backing page address in the phy APIC ID table */ > entry = avic_get_physical_id_entry(vcpu, id); > if (!entry) > diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > index 2237230aad98..a9fde1bb85ee 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > @@ -261,7 +261,6 @@ struct vcpu_svm { > > u32 ldr_reg; > u32 dfr_reg; > - struct page *avic_backing_page; > u64 *avic_physical_id_cache; > > /* Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
