Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: MMU: Initialize force_pt_level before calling mapping_level()
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:13:29 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151019151329.cf4b7cbbfe1fdb15bb756d93@lab.ntt.co.jp> (raw)
Commit fd1369021878 ("KVM: x86: MMU: Move mapping_level_dirty_bitmap()
call in mapping_level()") forgot to initialize force_pt_level to false
in FNAME(page_fault)() before calling mapping_level() like
nonpaging_map() does. This can sometimes result in forcing page table
level mapping unnecessarily.
Fix this and move the first *force_pt_level check in mapping_level()
before kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() call to make it a bit clearer that
the variable must be initialized before mapping_level() gets called.
This change can also avoid calling kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() when
!check_hugepage_cache_consistency() check in tdp_page_fault() forces
page table level mapping.
