[PATCH v4 03/28] vfio: powerpc/spapr: Check that TCE page size is equal to it_page_size

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Mon Feb 16 2015 - 05:14:51 EST


This checks that the TCE table page size is not bigger that the size of
a page we just pinned and going to put its physical address to the table.

Otherwise the hardware gets unwanted access to physical memory between
the end of the actual page and the end of the aligned up TCE page.

Since compound_order() and compound_head() work correctly on non-huge
pages, there is no need for additional check whether the page is huge.
