Re: [Xen-devel] Does paging_gva_to_gfn() convert to mfn for PV guests?

["Mike Sun" <msun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm... I'm not sure if I'm understanding clearly what you're saying.
If I use this function to translate virtual addresses from dom0 (a PV
guest without shadow paging). will I get an mfn or a pfn?

My expectation would be that I get an mfn since PV guests without any
sort of shadow paging have virt --> machine translations installed in
the page tables and do not actually use the p2m table for translation.
 Is this correct?

Thanks,
Mike
