Start level being 0 looks > normal. Instrumenting the ptdump code you're proposing I see the shadow stage 2 translation tables are constructed with the max 52-bit IPA; irrespective of the IPA bits set in the init_s2_mmu() helper for the guest hypervisor setup in the selftest, I am guessing here to me fixed? 52-bit IPA size because it's awkward if nestd guest's IPA size is larger than the shadow stage 2's IPA size. I confirmed using the __vm_create() helper with various guest modes supported that canonical stage 2's "ipa_range" changes according to the guest (L1) PA size so I wonder if it is a good idea to create something like shadow_ipa_range and shadow_stage2_levels files under nested directoy.
