Subject: [PATCH 02/16] KVM: arm64: Don't issue CMOs when the physical address is invalid

Make sure we don't issue CMOs when mapping something that
is not a memory address in the S2 page tables.

Hrmpf so this makes me realize we have a problem here, not really caused
by your patch though.

Specifically, calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_set_owner() can lead to
overriding valid mappings with invalid mappings, which is effectively an
unmap operation. In this case we should issue CMOs when unmapping a
cacheable page to ensure it is clean to the PoC, like the
kvm_pgtable_stage2_unmap() does.

Note that you patch is already an improvement over the current state of
things, because calling stage2_pte_cacheable(pgt, new),
kvm_pte_follow(new, mm_ops) and friends is bogus when 'new' is invalid
...

Thanks,
Quentin

You only need that if you to have a non-cacheable mapping to the same
page. Otherwise, you will be fine.

For pages that are moved from host-EL1 to EL2, we're good (I don't
think we ever have a non-cachable mapping at EL2). However, once we
start moving pages to guests, we'll need something.

Yeah, I had it mentally earmarked as a potential stable candidate. We
may have to do a bit better in the light of the above though.

Thanks,

Given that this check corresponds to checking the validity of 'new', I
wonder whether we'd be better off pushing the validity checks down into
stage2_pte_{cacheable,executable}()?

I.e. have stage2_pte_cacheable() return false if !kvm_pte_valid()

That would work just as well. I'll update the patch.
