[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86/PV: make post-migration page state consistent
When a page table page gets de-validated, its type reference count drops to zero (and PGT_validated gets cleared), but its type remains intact. XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3, therefore, so far reported prior usage for such pages. An intermediate write to such a page via e.g. MMU_NORMAL_PT_UPDATE, however, would transition the page's type to PGT_writable_page, thus altering what XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3 would return. In libxc the decision which pages to normalize / localize depends solely on the type returned from the domctl. As a result without further precautions the guest won't be able to tell whether such a page has had its (apparent) PTE entries transitioned to the new MFNs. Add a check of PGT_validated, thus consistently avoiding normalization / localization in the tool stack. Alongside using XEN_DOMCTL_PFINFO_NOTAB instead of plain zero for the change at hand, also change the variable's initializer to use this constant, too. Take the opportunity and also adjust its type.
