Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] KVM: arm64: Fix vma_shift staleness on nested hwpoison path
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 16:22:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304162222.836152-3-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304162222.836152-1-tabba@google.com>
When user_mem_abort() handles a nested stage-2 fault, it truncates
vma_pagesize to respect the guest's mapping size. However, the local
variable vma_shift is never updated to match this new size.
If the underlying host page turns out to be hardware poisoned,
kvm_send_hwpoison_signal() is called with the original, larger
vma_shift instead of the actual mapping size. This signals incorrect
poison boundaries to userspace and breaks hugepage memory poison
containment for nested VMs.
Update vma_shift to match the truncated vma_pagesize when operating
on behalf of a nested hypervisor.
Fixes: fd276e71d1e7 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Handle shadow stage 2 page faults")
