Subject: [PATCH v4 15/17] KVM: selftests: Add __vmwrite() and use it when initializing optional fields.
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 17:24:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904002423.3154436-16-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904002423.3154436-1-seanjc@google.com>

Add __vmwrite() in anticipation of having vmwrite() assert success, and use
the "failure allowed" version in the common VMCS setup code, which is the
only code that wants to write fields that may or may not exist (although
arguably the code should check if the field exists instead of blindly
writing).

E.g. When doing initial configuration of a VMCS, the core library doesn't
want to assume secondary controls are supported, and so blindly does a
VMWRITE and pivots on success/failure.

All usage of vmwrite() outside of common setup already asserts success, or
100% relies on VMWRITE succeeding in order for the test to function
correctly.

No functional change intended.
