[PATCH v2] x86/p2m: tighten old-MFN check in p2m_add_page()
Posted by Jan Beulich 1 year, 2 months ago
Just ahead of the logic in question we've translated the subject MFN to
a valid original GFN, in order to then translate that GFN back to an
MFN. Restricting the call to p2m_remove_page() to the case where these
two MFNs match is too weak. Instead refuse the operation altogether when
there's a mismatch (which likely indicates a bug elsewhere in Xen), by
leveraging the checking in p2m_remove_entry() via passing in the
expected MFN.

If we were certain that a mismatch indicates a bug elsewhere, we might
want to consider crashing the domain instead, to limit damage as well as
to make sure the issue is actually noticed.

v2: Drop the check rather than separating it out.
