Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 2/2] machine: fix Windows machine version pinning on aarch64
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:05:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129110607.65416-3-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129110607.65416-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
Have windows_get_pinned_machine_version() require passing an
explicitly set $machine and adapt the callers.
Note that the callers of check_and_pin_machine_string() use the
get_vm_arch() helper too, so the $arch variable is not undef there.
