[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Fix memory check in host_stage2_set_owner_locked()
Posted by Mostafa Saleh 9 months, 1 week ago
I found this simple bug while preparing some patches for pKVM.
AFAICT, it should be harmless (besides crashing the kernel if it
was misbehaving)

Fixes: e94a7dea2972 ("KVM: arm64: Move host page ownership tracking to the hyp vmemmap")

I vaguely seem to remember that there was an assumption around
addr/size representing a single page, and therefore addr_is_memory()
was doing the right thing.

Has this assumption changed? Or is this only a figment of my imagination?

Thanks,

	M.

From what I see, this might have size exceeding page size in the
following cases:
1- When creating a VM with 4K kernel as the struct pkvm_hyp_vm size
   is at least 0x1130 (without vCPUs)
2- When creating a VM and PGD size is bigger than one page (for cases
   with concatenation as 52 bits and 4K would have 64K PGD)

Thanks,
Mostafa
