Re: [PATCH v7 07/14] KVM: Use gfn instead of hva for mmu_notifier_retry

From: Gupta, Pankaj
Date: Fri Jul 15 2022 - 07:36:42 EST


Currently in mmu_notifier validate path, hva range is recorded and then
checked in the mmu_notifier_retry_hva() from page fault path. However
for the to be introduced private memory, a page fault may not have a hva

As this patch appeared in v7, just wondering did you see an actual bug because of it? And not having corresponding 'hva' occurs only with private memory because its not mapped to host userspace?

Thanks,
Pankaj

associated, checking gfn(gpa) makes more sense. For existing non private
memory case, gfn is expected to continue to work.

The patch also fixes a potential bug in kvm_zap_gfn_range() which has
already been using gfn when calling kvm_inc/dec_notifier_count() in
current code.
