[PATCH v3 48/62] KVM: SVM: WARN if updating IRTE GA fields in IOMMU fails

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2025-06-11 22:48:19
Also in: kvm, kvmarm, linux-iommu, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

WARN if updating GA information for an IRTE entry fails as modifying an
IRTE should only fail if KVM is buggy, e.g. has stale metadata, and
because returning an error that is always ignored is pointless.
