So how does passing through either of these work for a guest with
4Gb or more of memory assigned with just the original 2 patches
(and with shared page tables)? There ought to be a collision detected
when trying to do the identity mapping.

Do you mean this point, mfn_valid(mfn)? If yes, I remember we made
agreement previously about how to cover three cases including this scenario:

"
#1: !mfn_valid(mfn)

We can create those mapping safely.

#2: mfn_x(mfn) == gfn && p2mt == p2m_mmio_direct && a == p2m_access_rw

We already have these matched mappings.

#3: Others

Return with that waring message: "Cannot identity map d%d:%lx, already
mapped to %lx but mismatch.\n"
"
And this is just as we did in patch #1:

+
+    if ( !mfn_valid(mfn) )
+        ret = p2m_set_entry(p2m, gfn, _mfn(gfn), PAGE_ORDER_4K,
p2m_mmio_direct,
+                            p2m_access_rw);
+    else if ( mfn_x(mfn) == gfn &&
+              p2mt == p2m_mmio_direct &&
+              a == p2m_access_rw )
+        ret = 0;
+    else
+        printk(XENLOG_G_WARNING
+               "Cannot identity map d%d:%lx, already mapped to %lx.\n",
+               d->domain_id, gfn, mfn_x(mfn));

Right, but the important point is that when the warning gets printed
-EBUSY gets returned, i.e. in the end the device assignment is to fail.
Are you seeing the warning when creating a large enough guest? If

My platform just own 4G memory, so after I try to set 'memory=15360' in domu.cfg, I can't boot such a VM:

# xl cr domu.cfg
Parsing config from domu.cfg
libxl: error: libxl.c:4202:libxl_set_memory_target: new target 0 for dom0 is below the minimum threshhold
...
failed to free memory for the domain

not - can you explain why you don't see it (as I can't)?

Do you know exactly how to test this case as you expect here? Then I can take a further look to step on your question. Or I guess you are hinting something wrong should be happened but I never realize that previously.

Thanks
