Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Use try_cmpxchg64 in fast_pf_fix_direct_spte
Date:   Fri, 20 May 2022 16:46:35 +0200
Message-Id: <20220520144635.63134-1-ubizjak@gmail.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old in
fast_pf_fix_direct_spte. cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg).
