[PATCH 1/2] KVM: SVM: don't check have_run_cpus in sev_writeback_caches()
From: Yury Norov
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 16:32:08 EST
From: Yury Norov (NVIDIA) <yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx>
Before calling wbnoinvd_on_cpus_mask(), the function checks the cpumask
for emptiness. It's useless, as the following wbnoinvd_on_cpus_mask()
ends up with smp_call_function_many_cond(), which handles empty cpumask
correctly.
While there, move function-wide comment on top of the function.
Fixes: 6f38f8c57464 ("KVM: SVM: Flush cache only on CPUs running SEV guest")
