Subject: [PATCH 2/6] KVM: arm64: Add KVM_PGTABLE_WALK_PRE_FAULT walk flag
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 14:46:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911134648.58945-3-jackabt.amazon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911134648.58945-1-jackabt.amazon@gmail.com>
From: Jack Thomson <jackabt@amazon.com>
Don't return -EAGAIN from stage2_map_walker_try_leaf during
KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY.
During pre-faults, user_abort() is retried upon returning -EAGAIN,
meaning the ioctl would get stuck in an infinite loop if userspace
tries to pre-fault already existing mappings
