Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86/mmu: Decrease indentation in logic to sync new indirect shadow page
Date: Fri,  2 Aug 2024 13:38:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240802203900.348808-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240802203900.348808-1-seanjc@google.com>

Combine the back-to-back if-statements for synchronizing children when
linking a new indirect shadow page in order to decrease the indentation,
and to make it easier to "see" the logic in its entirety.

No functional change intended.
