Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix pte_flags() to only return flags, fix lguest (updated)
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:40:46 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200807221540.47161.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <488566EA.5040805@goop.org>
(Jeremy said:
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
When I asked:
jsgf: does that include the NX flag?
He responded eloquently:
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes
)
Change a15af1c9ea2750a9ff01e51615c45950bad8221b 'x86/paravirt: add
pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags()
in favor of a generic one.
Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits:
this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing
up host memory.
Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems
safest to always do the filtering.
