Subject: [V1 PATCH] PVH: avoid call to handle_mmio
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 15:00:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401832802-27118-2-git-send-email-mukesh.rathor@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1401832802-27118-1-git-send-email-mukesh.rathor@oracle.com>
handle_mmio() is currently unsafe for pvh guests. A call to it would
result in call to vioapic_range that will crash xen since the vioapic
ptr in struct hvm_domain is not initialized for pvh guests.
However, one path exists for such a call. If a pvh guest, dom0 or domU,
unintentionally touches non-existing memory, an EPT violation would occur.
This would result in unconditional call to hvm_hap_nested_page_fault. In
that function, because get_gfn_type_access returns p2m_mmio_dm for non
existing mfns by default, handle_mmio() will get called. This would result
in xen crash instead of the guest crash. This patch addresses that.
