Hi Christoffer,

There are two things we need to take care of when we create block
mappings in the stage 2 page tables:

   (1) The alignment within a PMD between the host address range and the
   guest IPA range must be the same, since otherwise we end up mapping
   pages with the wrong offset.

   (2) The head and tail of a memory slot may not cover a full block
   size, and we have to take care to not map those with block
   descriptors, since we could expose memory to the guest that the host
   did not intend to expose.

So far, we have been taking care of (1), but not (2), and our commentary
describing (1) was somewhat confusing.

This commit attempts to factor out the checks of both into a common
function, and if we don't pass the check, we won't attempt any PMD
mappings for neither hugetlbfs nor THP.

Note that we used to only check the alignment for THP, not for
hugetlbfs, but as far as I can tell the check needs to be applied to
both scenarios.

Nice ! The comment makes it so easy to understand the problem.

+	return (hva & S2_PMD_MASK) >= uaddr_start &&

Shouldn't this be :

		(hva & S2_PMD_MASK) + S2_PMD_SIZE < uaddr_end;

		or

		(hva & S2_PMD_MASK) + S2_PMD_SIZE <= (uaddr_end - 1);

Let's consider an example.  Imagine a 4MB region (1024 4K pages) start
at 0, and we want to ensure that the address is within one of the 2MB
pages.

That means, size will be:

   size = 1024 * 4096 = 4194304
   uaddr_start = 0
   uaddr_end = 0 + 4194304 = 4194304

and the comparison check for anything in the first 2MB region becomes

       return 0 >= 0 && 2097152 <= 4194304;

which is what we want.

The comparison check for anything in the second 2MB region becomes

       return 2097152 >= 0 && 4194304 <= 4194304;

which is also what we want.

If we had done a stricly less than or subtracted one from uaddr_end this
check would fail, which we don't want.

Am I missing something?

You're right. Sorry for the noise. I ignored the (& S2_PMD_MASK) which
should make sure we are comparing the outer-boundary of the hugepage.

super minor nit: If we combine the checks, may be we could skip checking
the  alignments, when logging is active.

	if (logging_active ||
	    !fault_supports_stage2_pmd_mappings(memslot, hva))

I prefer the way the code is written now, because logging active is a
logically very separate concept from checking the boundaries, and this
is realy the slow path anyway, so not sure there's any measurable
benefit.

More generally, I'd like user_mem_abort() to become more like:

if (check1())
    conditionr1 = value;
if (check2())
    condition2 = value;
if (check3())
    condition3 = value;

manipulate_page_tables(condition1, condition2, condition3, ...);

And I'll have a got at that following Punit's PUD huge pages.

Ok.

FWIW,
