Hi Quentin,

Testing the latest version of the patchset, we seem to have found another thing related to FEAT_S2FWB.

This function always sets Normal memory in the stage 2 table, even if the address in stage 1 was mapped as a device memory. However with the current settings for normal memory (i.e. MT_S2_FWB_NORMAL being defined to 6) according to the architecture (See Arm ARM, 'D5.5.5 Stage 2 memory region type and cacheability attributes when FEAT_S2FWB is implemented') the resulting attributes will be 'Normal Write-Back' even if the stage 1 mapping sets device memory. Accessing device memory mapped like this causes an SError on some platforms with FEAT_S2FWB being implemented.

Changing the value of MT_S2_FWB_NORMAL to 7 would change this behavior, and the resulting memory type would be device.

Another solution would be to add an else branch to the last 'if' above like this:

diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c
index fffa432ce3eb..54e5d3b0b2e1 100644
--- a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c
+++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c

        if (is_memory)
                prot |= KVM_PGTABLE_PROT_X;
+       else

        hyp_spin_lock(&host_kvm.lock);
        ret = kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range(&host_kvm.pgt, addr, prot, &range);

Best regards,
