[PATCH 15/15] arm/arm64: KVM: Check that IDMAP doesn't intersect with VA range

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

 



This is more of a safety measure than anything else: If we end-up
with an idmap page that intersect with the range picked for the
the HYP VA space, abort the KVM setup, as it is unsafe to go
further.

I cannot imagine it happening on 64bit (we have a mechanism to
work around it), but could potentially occur on a 32bit system with
the kernel loaded high enough in memory so that in conflicts with
the kernel VA.
