That's quite a nice catch. I guess this was the main issue with
running 64kB L1 on a 4kB L0? Now, I'm not that fond of the fix itself,
and I think max_map_size should always represent something that is a
valid size *on the host*, specially when outside of NV-specific code.
How about something like this instead:
@@ -1346,6 +1346,11 @@ static int user_mem_abort(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, phys_addr_t fault_ipa,
* table uses at least as big a mapping.
*/
max_map_size = min(kvm_s2_trans_size(nested), max_map_size);
+
+ if (max_map_size >= PMD_SIZE && max_map_size < PUD_SIZE)
+ max_map_size = PMD_SIZE;
+ else if (max_map_size >= PAGE_SIZE && max_map_size < PMD_SIZE)
+ max_map_size = PAGE_SIZE;
}
vma_pagesize = min(vma_pagesize, max_map_size);
Admittedly, this is a lot uglier than your fix. But it keep the nested
horror localised, and doesn't risk being reverted by accident by
people who would not take NV into account (can't blame them, really).
Can you please give it a go?
Thanks,
M.
