Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] KVM: arm64: Ensure level is always initialized when relaxing perms
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 10:14:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721091452.2812794-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072032-musty-tightly-d28e@gregkh>
From: Oliver Upton <oupton@kernel.org>
stage2_update_leaf_attrs() returns early before writing to @level if the
table walker returned an error. At the same time,
kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() uses the level as a TLBI TTL hint when the
error was EAGAIN, indicating the vCPU raced with a table update and the TLB
entry it hit is now stale.
Fall back to an unknown TTL if none was provided by the walk.
