We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update" If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is "contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table (specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor being upset with us: (XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067 (XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067 (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228 x86_64 debug=y Not tainted ]---- and crashing us. This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set. On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter. Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag. [v1: Added documentation details, made it return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of trying to do a half-way implementation] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> |
