[PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Clean up hugepage split error handling
Posted by Sean Christopherson 1 year, 5 months ago
"Fix" an impossible scenario where KVM would install a '0' SPTE instead of
using SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE.  In quotes because (a) there's not truly anything
to fix (the code should never be hit), and (b) bugging the VM doesn't guarantee
KVM won't get confused (though it's still better than installing an empty SPTE).

The main motivation for this is to eliminate installing a '0' SPTE so that
future audits of the MMU don't complain about not using SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE.
