Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider: - [High] Incomplete support for block mappings causes memory leaks and hypervisor panics on guest teardown and page reclaim. -- --- Patch [7]: [PATCH 07/20] KVM: arm64: Add a range to __pkvm_host_donate_guest() --- commit f5b9f10172162184655bd754092954f6d293a934 Author: Vincent Donnefort <[email protected]> KVM: arm64: Add a range to __pkvm_host_donate_guest() This commit updates the __pkvm_host_donate_guest() hypercall to accept a nr_pages argument, enabling it to map block-sized pages (e.g., PMD_SIZE) in both the guest and host stage-2 page tables. It also updates various selftest and pkvm mappings to pass the new argument. > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c > index 3118941a11a7d..9ea448895c15e 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c [ ... ] > @@ -1422,22 +1422,30 @@ static int __guest_check_pgtable_memcache(struct pkvm_hyp_vcpu *vcpu) > return 0; > } > > -int __pkvm_host_donate_guest(u64 pfn, u64 gfn, struct pkvm_hyp_vcpu *vcpu) > +int __pkvm_host_donate_guest(u64 pfn, u64 gfn, u64 nr_pages, struct pkvm_hyp_vcpu *vcpu) > { > struct pkvm_hyp_vm *vm = pkvm_hyp_vcpu_to_hyp_vm(vcpu); > u64 phys = hyp_pfn_to_phys(pfn); > u64 ipa = hyp_pfn_to_phys(gfn); > + u64 size; > u64 meta; > int ret; > > + if (!pfn_range_is_valid(pfn, nr_pages)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + ret = __guest_check_transition_size(phys, ipa, nr_pages, &size); [Severity: High] Does this code safely handle block mappings on reclaim? If __pkvm_host_donate_guest() installs a block mapping (when nr_pages = 512), wouldn't __pkvm_host_reclaim_page_guest() fail to reclaim it because get_valid_guest_pte() explicitly rejects block mappings? arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c:get_valid_guest_pte() { ... if (level != KVM_PGTABLE_LAST_LEVEL) return -E2BIG; ... } Similarly, wouldn't a hardware poison event calling __pkvm_host_force_reclaim_page_guest() trigger a fatal hypervisor panic when reading the block-level annotation, due to the WARN_ON in host_stage2_get_guest_info()? arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c:host_stage2_get_guest_info() { ... ret = kvm_pgtable_get_leaf(&host_mmu.pgt, phys, &pte, &level); ... if (WARN_ON(level != KVM_PGTABLE_LAST_LEVEL)) return -EINVAL; ... } > + if (ret) > + return ret; > + > host_lock_component(); > guest_lock_component(vm); > [ ... ] -- Sashiko AI review ยท https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/[email protected]?part=7
