File 23507-xenpaging_update_machine_to_phys_mapping_during_page_deallocation.patch of Package xen
changeset: 23507:0a29c8c3ddf7 user: Keir Fraser <keir@xen.org> date: Fri Jun 10 08:19:07 2011 +0100 files: xen/common/page_alloc.c description: xenpaging: update machine_to_phys_mapping[] during page deallocation The machine_to_phys_mapping[] array needs updating during page deallocation. If that page is allocated again, a call to get_gpfn_from_mfn() will still return an old gfn from another guest. This will cause trouble because this gfn number has no or different meaning in the context of the current guest. This happens when the entire guest ram is paged-out before xen_vga_populate_vram() runs. Then XENMEM_populate_physmap is called with gfn 0xff000. A new page is allocated with alloc_domheap_pages. This new page does not have a gfn yet. However, in guest_physmap_add_entry() the passed mfn maps still to an old gfn (perhaps from another old guest). This old gfn is in paged-out state in this guests context and has no mfn anymore. As a result, the ASSERT() triggers because p2m_is_ram() is true for p2m_ram_paging* types. If the machine_to_phys_mapping[] array is updated properly, both loops in guest_physmap_add_entry() turn into no-ops for the new page and the mfn/gfn mapping will be done at the end of the function. If XENMEM_add_to_physmap is used with XENMAPSPACE_gmfn, get_gpfn_from_mfn() will return an appearently valid gfn. As a result, guest_physmap_remove_page() is called. The ASSERT in p2m_remove_page triggers because the passed mfn does not match the old mfn for the passed gfn.
