[PATCH 5.10 092/126] KVM: x86/mmu: Add comment on __tdp_mmu_set_spte

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

 



From: Ben Gardon <bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fe43fa2f407b9d513f7bcf18142e14e1bf1508d6 ]

__tdp_mmu_set_spte is a very important function in the TDP MMU which
already accepts several arguments and will take more in future commits.
To offset this complexity, add a comment to the function describing each
of the arguemnts.

No functional change intended.
