For the convenience of description, here copy some code fragments and put them at the end.
Please refer to these codes.
When the SEV is active, the page being mapped will determine whether to use the memory
encryption attribute for mapping based on the 'mem_flags.desc_other'.
But the value of 'mem_flags.desc_other' is set according to the returned result of this
function __ioremap_check_desc_other().
Originally, the 'E820_TYPE_RESERVED' type is converted to the descriptor 'IORES_DESC_NONE',
therefore, for the e820 reserved type, the value of 'mem_flags.desc_other' is equal to
'false'.
But now, the 'E820_TYPE_RESERVED' type is converted to the descriptor 'IORES_DESC_RESERVED'
instead of 'IORES_DESC_NONE', it has been changed and the value of 'mem_flags.desc_other'
is equal to 'true'. This is wrong.
So that would be nice to keep it the same as before, that is to say, this function has to
be improved like this.
static int __ioremap_check_desc_other(struct resource *res)
{
return ((res->desc != IORES_DESC_NONE) &&
(res->desc != IORES_DESC_RESERVED));
}
Please look at the following function __ioremap_caller(), and also list the call trace path.
Call trace path:
__ioremap_caller()->
__ioremap_check_mem()->
walk_mem_res()->
__ioremap_res_check()->
__ioremap_check_desc_other()
static void __iomem *__ioremap_caller(resource_size_t phys_addr,
unsigned long size, enum page_cache_mode pcm,
void *caller, bool encrypted)
{
unsigned long offset, vaddr;
resource_size_t last_addr;
const resource_size_t unaligned_phys_addr = phys_addr;
const unsigned long unaligned_size = size;
struct ioremap_mem_flags mem_flags;
/* skip some codes...*/
__ioremap_check_mem(phys_addr, size, &mem_flags);
/* skip some codes...*/
/*
* If the page being mapped is in memory and SEV is active then
* make sure the memory encryption attribute is enabled in the
* resulting mapping.
*/
prot = PAGE_KERNEL_IO;
if ((sev_active() && mem_flags.desc_other) || encrypted)
prot = pgprot_encrypted(prot);
/* skip some codes...*/
}
Thanks.
