[RFC PATCH v5 04/45] KVM: x86: Make "external SPTE" ops that can fail RET0 static calls

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Wed Jan 28 2026 - 20:15:55 EST


Define kvm_x86_ops .link_external_spt(), .set_external_spte(), and
.free_external_spt() as RET0 static calls so that an unexpected call to a
a default operation doesn't consume garbage.

Fixes: 77ac7079e66d ("KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Propagate building mirror page tables")
Fixes: 94faba8999b9 ("KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Propagate tearing down mirror page tables")
