From 44f1b5586df03b044704f3c57f529ea4120f406b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2021 10:18:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Enhance and clean up the vmcb tracking comment in pre_svm_run() Explicitly document why a vmcb must be marked dirty and assigned a new asid when it will be run on a different cpu. The "what" is relatively obvious, whereas the "why" requires reading the APM and/or KVM code. Opportunistically remove a spurious period and several unnecessary newlines in the comment. No functional change intended.
