[PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: Fix host stage-2 PGD refcount

Tue Oct 5 02:01:38 PDT 2021


The KVM page-table library refcounts the pages of concatenated stage-2
PGDs individually. However, the host's stage-2 PGD is currently managed
by EL2 as a single high-order compound page, which can cause the
refcount of the tail pages to reach 0 when they really shouldn't, hence
corrupting the page-table.

Fix this by introducing a new hyp_split_page() helper in the EL2 page
allocator (matching EL1's split_page() function), and make use of it
from host_s2_zalloc_page().

Fixes: 1025c8c0c6ac ("KVM: arm64: Wrap the host with a stage 2")
