[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2] UefiCpuPkg: Fix issue that IsModified is wrongly set in PageTableMap
Posted by Zhiguang Liu 9 months, 2 weeks ago 
REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4614

About the IsModified, current function doesn't consider that hardware
also may change the pagetable. The issue is that in the first call of
internal function PageTableLibMapInLevel, the function assume page
table is not changed, and add ASSERT to check. But hardware may change
the page table, which cause the ASSERT happens.
Fix the issue by considering the hardware may also change page table,
and document the detail in function header.

This patch looks good to me, thanks, except for one small wart: in the
documentation section of PageTableLibMapInLevel(), you change IsModified
from "@param[out]" to "@param[in, out]", which is correct, *but* a
similar change has been omitted for the actual parameter in the
parameter list:

  OUT    BOOLEAN             *IsModified

This should also become "IN OUT".

Thanks!
Laszlo

The patch's subject really doesn't describe the fix (describe what you
did in the patch/commit, don't describe what you're fixing)

I also liked your IsFlushTlbNeeded suggestion (it would help clarify
what you actually want to keep track of).

hi Pedro,
Thanks for the comments.
I will describe more about how to fix it in the commit message.
About the renaming, I hesitate about it, since there may be other usage about this param. However, I don't think it is a big concern. I will keep it as is for now.

Thanks
Zhiguang
