Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH V2] xen/arm: mm: fix nr_second calculation in setup_frametable_mappings



(CC Wei for Xen 4.7)

Hi,

On ARM64, "frametable_size >> SECOND_SHIFT" computes the number

"ROUNDUP(frametable_size, FIRST_SIZE) >> FIRST_SHIFT" which computes
the number of the first level entries (the number of second level pages),
is the correct one that should be used.

This is a bug fix for Xen 4.7 and should be backported up to Xen 4.4.

Wei, could we get a release-ack for this patch?

The computation of the number of page to allocation was wrong. This could result to overrun xen_first on platform with big amount of memory.
