From 4357bd9453b81e0a41db1dec16e06d74256b7560 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:35:57 -0500 Subject: lguest: Revert 1ce70c4fac3c3954bd48c035f448793867592bc0, fix real problem. Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest bug, and indeed it wasn't. The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables for each Guest). Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug. The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.
