good question,
After further digging, maybe we need to harden the break condition as below?
diff --git a/virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c b/virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c
index 7f6a944..dac9b2e 100644
--- a/virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c
+++ b/virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c
@@ -217,7 +217,7 @@ static void unmap_stage2_ptes(struct kvm *kvm, pmd_t *pmd,
put_page(virt_to_page(pte));
}
- } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
+ } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr < end);
basically verified in my armv8a server
