Subject: [PATCH 0/2] xen/x86: alternative fix for XSA-369
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2021 12:03:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210317110401.46322-1-roger.pau@citrix.com> (raw)

Hello,

This is a proposal for an alternative fix for XSA-369 that instead of
special casing XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC to size the p2m relies on making
XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_LIMIT depend on the generic MEMORY_HOTPLUG
option rather than XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

I think this is safer, as we don't want to be special casing any option
that pulls in generic MEMORY_HOTPLUG without XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
Without this we would also need to at least special case ZONE_DEVICE
which also relies on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, and is what pulls the generic
MEMORY_HOTPLUG option even when XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is disabled
with XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC.

Thanks, Roger.
