We refactored this code a bit and accidentally deleted the "-" character from "-EINVAL". The kvm_vcpu_map() function never returns positive EINVAL.
Fixes: c8e16b78c614 ("x86: KVM: svm: eliminate hardcoded RIP advancement from vmrun_interception()")
Hm, this commit wasn't backported to 5.3-stable so no fix is needed (scripts don't check pre-requisites like commits mentioned in Fixes:?)
Also, c8e16b78c614 is not a stable@ candidate IMO.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
This wasn't needed as it's only 5.4 which will have the offending commit and the fix.
Yes, I saw that, but as it was explicitly marked for the stable tree, I wanted to verify that this really was not needed here.
thanks
