Unlike the primary vCPU-run flow, the nested early checks code doesn't actually want to propagate VM-Fail back to 'vmx'. Yay copy+paste. In additional to eliminating the need to clear vmx->fail before returning, using a local boolean also drops a reference to 'vmx' in the asm blob. Dropping the reference to 'vmx' will save a register in the long run as future patches will shift all pointer references from 'vmx' to 'vmx->loaded_vmcs'.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
