Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Use kvm_pfn_t for local PFN variable in
hva_to_pfn_remapped()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Use kvm_pfn_t, a.k.a. u64, for the local 'pfn' variable when retrieving
a so called "remapped" hva/pfn pair. In theory, the hva could resolve to
a pfn in high memory on a 32-bit kernel.
This bug was inadvertantly exposed by commit bd2fae8da794 ("KVM: do not
assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn"), which added an error PFN value
to the mix, causing gcc to comlain about overflowing the unsigned long.
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: In function ‘hva_to_pfn_remapped’:
include/linux/kvm_host.h:89:30: error: conversion from ‘long long unsigned int’
to ‘long unsigned int’ changes value from
‘9218868437227405314’ to ‘2’ [-Werror=overflow]
89 | #define KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT (KVM_PFN_ERR_MASK + 2)
