Hello folks,

This is version three of the KVM page-table rework that I previously posted
here:

    v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200730153406.25136-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx
    v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200818132818.16065-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes since v2 include:

    * Rebased onto -rc2, which includes the conflicting OOM blocking fixes
    * Dropped the patch trying to "fix" the memcache in kvm_phys_addr_ioremap()


It's really nice work, making the code unified/simplified greatly.
However, it seems it doesn't work well with HugeTLBfs. Please refer
to the following test result and see if you have quick idea, or I
can debug it a bit :)

Nice testing matrix, and thanks for reporting the problem!

I debugged the code and found the issue is caused by the following
patch.

[PATCH v3 06/21] KVM: arm64: Add support for stage-2 map()/unmap() in generic page-table

(I think this is just a symptom of the page-table being out of whack)

Sorry that the guest could hang sometimes with above changes. I have no idea what
has been happening before I'm going to debug for more.. I'm pasting the used command
and output from guest.

Can you try the diff below, please? I think we can end up sticking down a
huge-page-sized mapping at an unaligned address, which causes us both to
overmap and also to fail to use the huge granule for a block mapping.


Since the the following changes have been folded to v4, I reran the test cases
on v4 and everything works fine.

Thanks,
Gavin
