Subject: [PATCH v2] xen: arm: avoid reusing incorrect mappings when walking the p2m.
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:33:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405690440-32211-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
When we change which PT page we are mapping at a given level then we need to
invalidate any cached mappings further down the tree, otherwise we risk using
them because their offset might match but be based on a different offset
further up the table.
e.g. when remapping first then cur_first_offset and cur_second_offset (which
indicate the currently mapped second and third tables respectively) both become
invalid

v2: Also invalidate cur_first_offset when changing cur_first_page.
Corrected/clarified commit message, this issue isn't really specific to
superpages, they just happen to expose it.
