Subject: [PATCH] Check for ambiguities in create alias ioctl.
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:32:56 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1226586776-18999-1-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com> (raw)
The current alias ioctl allows for the creation of
an alias covering a gpa that already exists. It is invalid,
because the gpa space needs to be uniquely mapped. So, if
there's a memory slot covering gpa range 0x123000 to 0x124000,
and we create an alias from any gpa within that range to a different
target, we create an essential ambiguity that brings no value at
the cost of a lot of confusion. Right now this confusion
manifests itself as a BUG() triggered in the rmaps code path.
