Subject: [PATCH v2 02/19] accel/kvm: Fix kvm_convert_memory() calls crossing memory regions
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 15:48:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908205236.838281-3-michael.roth@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908205236.838281-1-michael.roth@amd.com>

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>

Page conversion calls can span multiple memory regions, potentially
resulting in a conversion failure if the memory range being converted
extends beyond the boundaries of the referenced memory region.

Handle the case of page conversion calls straddling across memory
regions by looping through the subregions and handling conversions and
related work section by section.

Fixes: c15e5684071d ("kvm: handle KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT")
