Right, I changed the function to better handle error cases and added checks to the call-sites. It looks like below now: static bool vc_slow_virt_to_phys(struct ghcb *ghcb, struct es_em_ctxt *ctxt, unsigned long vaddr, phys_addr_t *paddr) { unsigned long va = (unsigned long)vaddr; unsigned int level; phys_addr_t pa; pgd_t *pgd; pte_t *pte; pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm, va); pte = lookup_address_in_pgd(pgd, va, &level); if (!pte) { ctxt->fi.vector = X86_TRAP_PF; ctxt->fi.cr2 = vaddr; ctxt->fi.error_code = 0; if (user_mode(ctxt->regs)) ctxt->fi.error_code |= X86_PF_USER; return false; } pa = (phys_addr_t)pte_pfn(*pte) << PAGE_SHIFT; pa |= va & ~page_level_mask(level); *paddr = pa; return true; }
