Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Fix handling of XN[0] when !FEAT_XNX
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2026 00:27:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602072759.37885-1-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)

XN has already been extracted from its bitfield position so using
FIELD_PREP() on the mask that clears XN[0] is completely broken, having
the effect of unconditionally granting execute permissions...

Fix the obvious mistake by manipulating the right bit.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: d93febe2ed2e ("KVM: arm64: nv: Forward FEAT_XNX permissions to the shadow stage-2")
