From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> So far, the loop bodies already ensure the PTE is present before calling __shadow_walk_next(): Some loop bodies simply exit with a !PRESENT directly and some other loop bodies, i.e. FNAME(fetch) and __direct_map() do not currently terminate their walks with a !PRESENT, but they get away with it because they install present non-leaf SPTEs in the loop itself. But checking pte present in __shadow_walk_next() is a more prudent way of programing and loop bodies will not need to always check it. It allows us removing unneeded is_shadow_present_pte() in the loop bodies. Terminating on !is_shadow_present_pte() is 100% the correct behavior, as walking past a !PRESENT SPTE would lead to attempting to read a the next level SPTE from a garbage iter->shadow_addr. Even some paths that do _not_ currently have a !is_shadow_present_pte() in the loop body is Ok since they will install present non-leaf SPTEs and the additional present check is just an NOP. The checking result in __shadow_walk_next() will be propagated to shadow_walk_okay() for being used in any for(;;) loop.
