Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] memory: Update description of memory_region_is_mapped()
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2021 19:45:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211011174522.14351-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
Playing with memory_region_is_mapped(), I realized that memory regions
mapped via an alias behave a little bit "differently", as they don't have
their ->container set.
* memory_region_is_mapped() will never succeed for memory regions mapped
via an alias
* memory_region_to_address_space(), memory_region_find(),
memory_region_find_rcu(), memory_region_present() won't work, which seems
okay, because we don't expect such memory regions getting passed to these
functions.
* memory_region_to_absolute_addr() will result in a wrong address. As
the result is only used for tracing, that is tolerable.
Let's clarify the documentation of memory_region_is_mapped() and change
one user that really should be checking something else.
