[PATCH v2 for 4.20? 0/3] Fixes for vmap_to_mfn() and pt_mapping_level
Posted by Oleksii Kurochko 1 month, 1 week ago
Introduce pt_walk(), which does software page table walking to resolve the
following issues:
1. vmap_to_mfn() uses virt_to_maddr(), which is designed to work with VA
   from either the direct map region or Xen's linkage region (XEN_VIRT_START),
   thereby an assertion will occur if it is used with other regions, in
   particular for the VMAP region. The solution is usage of pt_walk() for
   vmap_to_mfn().
2. pt_mapping_level() returns incorrect page table level in the case when
   mfn==INVALID_MFN when, for example, VA was mapped to PA using 4k mapping,
   but during destroying/modification pt_mapping_level() could return incorrect
   page table level as when mfn==INVALID_MFN then only VA is taking into account
   for page table level calculation and so if VA is page table level 1 aligned
   then page_mapping_level() will return level 1 ( instead of level 0 as VA was
   mapped to PA using 4k mapping so there is incostinency here ).
   The solution is an introduction of PTE_LEAF_SEACH bit to tell pt_update() algo
   that it should use pt_walk() to find proper page table entry instead of
   using for searching of page table entry based on precalculated by
   pt_mapping_level() `level` and `order` values.

It would be nice  to have these fixes in Xen 4.20 but isn't really critical as
there is no any users for RISC-V port at this moment.
