About every time I look at dom0_construct_pv()'s "calculation" of nr_pt_pages I question (myself) whether the result is precise or merely an upper bound. I think it is meant to be precise, but I think we would be better off having some checking in place. Hence add ASSERT()s to verify that - all pages have a valid L1...Ln (currently L4) page table type and - no other bits are set, in particular the type refcount is still zero. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> --- v2: Refine an expression. Add comment. --- There are (at least) two factors supporting my uncertainty about the "calculation" being precise: The loop starting from 2 (which clearly is too small for a possible result) and an apparently wrong comment stating that not only v_end but also v_start would be superpage aligned (in fact v_end is 4MiB aligned, which is the superpage size only on long abandoned [by us] non-PAE x86-32). --- a/xen/arch/x86/pv/dom0_build.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/pv/dom0_build.c @@ -59,6 +59,16 @@ static __init void mark_pv_pt_pages_rdon l1e_remove_flags(*pl1e, _PAGE_RW); page = mfn_to_page(l1e_get_mfn(*pl1e)); + /* + * Verify that + * - all pages have a valid L1...Ln page table type and + * - no other bits are set, in particular the type refcount is still + * zero. + */ + ASSERT((page->u.inuse.type_info & PGT_type_mask) >= PGT_l1_page_table); + ASSERT((page->u.inuse.type_info & PGT_type_mask) <= PGT_root_page_table); + ASSERT(!(page->u.inuse.type_info & ~PGT_type_mask)); + /* Read-only mapping + PGC_allocated + page-table page. */ page->count_info = PGC_allocated | 3; page->u.inuse.type_info |= PGT_validated | 1;
