Commit 5995a68 "xen/privcmd: Add support for Linux 64KB page
granularity" did
not go far enough to support 64KB in mmap_batch_fn.

The variable 'nr' is the number of 4KB chunk to map. However, when
Linux
is using 64KB page granularity the array of pages
(vma->vm_private_data)
contain one page per 64KB. Fix it by incrementing st->index
correctly.

Furthermore, st->va is not correctly incremented as PAGE_SIZE !=
XEN_PAGE_SIZE.

Are we still using PAGE_MASK for xen_remap_domain_gfn_array()?

Do you mean in the xen_xlate_remap_gfn_array implementation? If so
there are no use of PAGE_MASK as the code has been converted to
support 64K page granularity.

If you mean the x86 version of xen_remap_domain_gfn_array, then we
don't really care as x86 only use 4KB page granularity.


I meant right above the change that you made. Should it also be replaced
with XEN_PAGE_MASK? (Sorry for being unclear.)

Oh. The code in xen_remap_domain_gfn_array is relying on st->va to be
page aligned. So I think we want to keep PAGE_MASK here.

Doe this imply then that 'nr' 4K pages is integral number of PAGE_SIZE
(i.e. (nr*XEN_PAGE_SIZE) % PAGE_SIZE == 0) and if yes --- do we test
this somewhere? I don't see it.

nr might be smaller for the last batch. But all the intermediate batch should have ((nr * XEN_PAGE_SIZE) % PAGE_SIZE == 0).

I think the BUILD_BUG_ON in privcmd_ioctl_mmap_batch ensure that all the intermediate batch will always be an integral number of PAGE_SIZE.
