Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: do not pin the VMCS12
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 15:54:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1501163686-13648-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

Since the current implementation of VMCS12 does a memcpy in and out
of guest memory, we do not need current_vmcs12 and current_vmcs12_page
anymore.  current_vmptr is enough to read and write the VMCS12.
