[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: x86: Improve documentation of MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN

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

 



Fix some incorrect statement of MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN documentation and
state clearly the token in 'struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data' of 'page ready'
event is matchted with the token in CR2 in 'page not present' event.
