Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 4/5] KVM: arm64: nv: Re-translate VNCR before injecting abort
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 10:58:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721095841.2845371-4-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721095841.2845371-1-maz@kernel.org>
From: Oliver Upton <oupton@kernel.org>
KVM faults in the VNCR page with FOLL_WRITE whenever the guest aborts
for a write, similar to how a regular stage-2 mapping is handled. It is
entirely possible that the guest reads from the VNCR before writing to
it, in which case the PFN could only be read-only.
Invalidate the VNCR TLB and re-fetch the translation upon taking a VNCR
abort, allowing the host mapping to be faulted in for write the second
time around. Interestingly enough, this also satisfies the ordering
requirements of FEAT_ETS2/3 between descriptor updates and MMU faults.
