Ah, yes this can be optimized to copy directly.

The values get checked when starting the VM
static int gh_vm_start(struct gh_vm *ghvm)
...
mapping = gh_vm_mem_find_mapping(ghvm, ghvm->dtb_config.gpa,
ghvm->dtb_config.size);
if (!mapping) {
pr_warn("Failed to find the memory_handle for DTB\n");
ret = -EINVAL;
goto err;
}
If user passes an address that they've not set up, then
gh_vm_mem_find_mapping returns NULL and GH_VM_START ioctl fails.
I've not done the check from the GH_VM_SET_DTB_CONFIG ioctl itself
because I didn't want to require userspace to share the memory first.
We'd need to check again anyway since user could SET_USER_MEMORY,
SET_DTB_CONFIG, SET_USER_MEMORY (remove), VM_START.
Thanks,
Elliot
