Punit reviewed the other version of this patch, this PMD_SHIFT is not the right
thing to do, it needs a more accurate set of calls and shifts as there may be
hugetlbfs pages other than PMD_SIZE.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg568919.html

I haven't posted a new version of that patch because I was still hunting a bug
in the hugepage/hwpoison code, even with Punit's fixes series I see -EFAULT
returned to userspace instead of this hwpoison code being invoked.

Please avoid duplicating functionality between patches, it wastes reviewers
time, especially when we know there are problems with this approach.

Why the extra level of indirection? We only want to signal userspace like this
from KVM for hwpoison. Signals for RAS related reasons should come from the bits
of the kernel that decoded the error.

(hwpoison for KVM is a corner case as Qemu's memory effectively has two users,
Qemu and KVM. This isn't the example of how user-space gets signalled.)

Why do we need a userspace API for SEA? It can also be done by using
KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG to change the vcpu registers. The advantage of doing it this
way is you can choose which ESR value to use.

Adding a new API call to do something you could do with an old one doesn't look
right.


Thanks,
