Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Revert "KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't save collections the table cannot hold"
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 11:28:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819102809.310708-3-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819102809.310708-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

This reverts commit 9b10fb74e4b661543d188701bd4d024fc5c18f58.

Freeing the collections when GITS_BASER<coll> changes removes the state
this check rejected: vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi(),
vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapc() and vgic_its_restore_cte() all validate the
ID against the current table before allocating, and the table can no
longer change under the list. What remains is a collection whose entry
is not backed by a memslot, which the write fails on anyway, so the
check costs a save userspace should be able to issue reliably and buys
nothing.

The reverted commit credited the check with bounding the walk as well.
It stays bounded without it: collection IDs are unique and each is below
the table's capacity, so the list cannot be longer than the table.
