Subject: [PATCH v2] kvm: mmu: don't do memslot overflow check
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:24:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429064694-3072-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@linux.intel.com> (raw)

As Andres pointed out:

| I don't understand the value of this check here. Are we looking for a
| broken memslot? Shouldn't this be a BUG_ON? Is this the place to care
| about these things? npages is capped to KVM_MEM_MAX_NR_PAGES, i.e.
| 2^31. A 64 bit overflow would be caused by a gigantic gfn_start which
| would be trouble in many other ways.

This patch drops the memslot overflow check to make the codes more simple.
