Subject: [PATCH 6/6] KVM: arm64: Fix initialisation order in __pkvm_init_finalise()
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:49:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424084908.370776-7-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424084908.370776-1-tabba@google.com>

From: Quentin Perret <qperret@google.com>

fix_host_ownership() walks the hypervisor's stage-1 page-table to
adjust the host's stage-2 accordingly. Any such adjustment that
requires cache maintenance operations depends on the per-CPU hyp
fixmap being present. However, fix_host_ownership() is currently
called before fix_hyp_pgtable_refcnt() and hyp_create_fixmap(), so
the fixmap does not yet exist when it runs.

This is benign today because the host stage-2 starts empty and no
CMOs are needed, but it becomes a latent crash as soon as
fix_host_ownership() is extended to operate on a non-empty
page-table.

Reorder the calls so that fix_hyp_pgtable_refcnt() and
hyp_create_fixmap() complete before fix_host_ownership() is invoked.

Fixes: 0d16d12eb26e ("KVM: arm64: Fix-up hyp stage-1 refcounts for all pages mapped at EL2")
