[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Preserve memslot arch flags on KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY

From: Zeng Chi

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 05:49:16 EST


From: Zeng Chi <zengchi@xxxxxxxxxx>

kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() computes new->arch.flags, i.e. whether
a memslot is KVM_MEM_HUGEPAGE_CAPABLE or KVM_MEM_HUGEPAGE_INCAPABLE, only
for KVM_MR_CREATE and KVM_MR_MOVE, and returns early for every other
change. But the generic code allocates a zeroed memslot for every
change and never copies old->arch, so after a KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY update,
e.g. toggling KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES for live migration, the active
memslot has arch.flags == 0.

With both flags clear, fault_supports_huge_mapping() falls through to
the alignment check on the HVA range alone, which no longer verifies
that the GPA and HVA have the same offset within a PMD. A memslot that
was marked KVM_MEM_HUGEPAGE_INCAPABLE because of a GPA/HVA offset
mismatch can then be mapped with PMD entries on read faults, and since
kvm_map_page() aligns the gfn and the pfn independently, the guest ends
up accessing the wrong host pages, exactly the "d -> f, e -> g" case
described in the comment above the check.

Carry the arch flags over from the old memslot for KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY,
as the GPA, HVA and size are guaranteed to be unchanged for that case.
