It would be > good to have a comment explaining. That's the address in the initiator's address space. For the host and guests that'll be an IPA (which also happens to be the same as the PA for the host) and for the hypervisor that'll be an EL2 VA. But yes, a comment won't hurt, so I'll add something. <snip> > > +static int check_share(struct pkvm_page_req *req, > > + struct pkvm_page_share_ack *ack, > > + struct pkvm_mem_share *share) > > +{ > > + if (!addr_is_memory(req->phys)) > > + return -EINVAL; > > + > > + if (req->initiator.state == PKVM_PAGE_OWNED && > > + ack->completer.state == PKVM_NOPAGE) { > > + return 0; > > + } > > + > > + if (req->initiator.state != PKVM_PAGE_SHARED_OWNED) > > + return -EPERM; > > + > > + if (ack->completer.state != PKVM_PAGE_SHARED_BORROWED) > > + return -EPERM; > > + > > + if (ack->completer.phys != req->phys) > > + return -EPERM; > > + > > + if (ack->completer.prot != share->prot) > > + return -EPERM; > I guess this is the workaround you mentioned for the fact that the > host can share the same page twice? It might be worth adding a comment > to explain that that's what's going on. Yep, that's what is going on here. But FWIW I'm currently reworking the way we refcount pages in v2, which will now become the host's responsibility. So, that should simplify things quite a bit at EL2, and make all of the above go away :-) Cheers, Quentin _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
