I agree this might not be the clearest code, but 'next' should be set if
the return state is RMI_SUCCESS, and we don't actually get to the "ipa =
next" line unless that is the case. But I'll rejig things because it's
not clear.

I might be missing something, but AFAICT this is safe:

1. The RMM doesn't permit RIPAS changes within the shared space:
RSI_IPA_STATE_SET has a precondition [rgn_bound]:
AddrRangeIsProtected(base, top, realm)
So a malicious guest shouldn't get passed the RMM.

2. The RMM validates that the range passed here is (a subset of) the
one provided to the NS-world [base_bound / top_bound].

And even if somehow a malicious guest managed to bypass these checks I
don't see how it would cause harm to the host operating on the wrong region.

I'm happy to be corrected though! What am I missing?

Thank,
Steve
