Subject: [PATCH for-4.6] tools/libxc: linux: Don't use getpagesize() when unmapping the grants
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 19:53:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438973635-16517-1-git-send-email-julien.grall@citrix.com> (raw)
The grants are based on the Xen granularity (i.e 4KB). While the function
to map grants for Linux (linux_gnttab_grant_map) is using the correct
size (XC_PAGE_SIZE), the unmap one (linux_gnttab_munmap) is using
getpagesize().
On domain using a page granularity different than Xen (this is the case
for AARCH64 guest using 64KB page), the unmap will be called with the
wrong size.

This is a candidate for Xen 4.6 and backport for Xen 4.5.
There is no functional changes for 4KB domain (i.e x86, arm32, arm64 when
4KB is used) but fixes a latent problem when the domain is using 64KB page
on ARM64.
The mmap is done correctly use XC_PAGE_SIZE but not the munmap.
This will likely fail to unmap. I don't think it will unmap too
much.
I grepped getpagesize in the tools, and so far I haven't found any other
in Xen specific code. There is some in blktap2 and QEMU. I don't think
the former is that important for ARM64. I will take care of the latter
in a separate series.
