[kvm-unit-tests v3 5/6] x86: vmx: split large EPTEs in install_ept_entry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When install_ept_entry encountered a leaf entry above pte_level, it
just cleared the EPT_LARGE_PAGE bit and continued the traversal _using
the first 4K page from the large page as the next level of the page
table_! This is broken because (1) the data in the large page would be
overwritten, and (2) all of other entires in the new level of the page
table would contain garbage.

Now, install_ept_entry splits the large mapping by allocating a new
page and filling it in with 512 PTEs that point to the large page's
constituent 2M or 4K pages.

This path is exercised in the VMX EPT test when 2m EPT pages are
enabled. The bug wasn't obvious because the free list is sorted in
descending order of HPA, thus the large page being overwritten with an
EPTE happened to only contain 0s.

Fixes: 04b0e0f342978f08b8b0b068c08c9d45ee80e3f7 ("nEPT: Fix test cases for 2M huge pages").
