Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Size nested stage-2 MMUs by the NV PARange cap
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 10:51:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030105139.3543230-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
init_nested_s2_mmu()'s comment says nested stage-2 MMUs use the PARange
exposed to the guest, but it sizes them with kvm_get_pa_bits(), which
returns the host's IPA limit rather than the 48 bits limit_nv_id_reg()
caps an NV guest at.
On a 52-bit host, every TLBI ALLE1IS from the guest hypervisor then has
KVM unmap each valid nested stage-2 across a range 16 times the one the
guest can use. Under QEMU, the KVM init of an E2H0 guest hypervisor
doesn't complete within 20 minutes.
Make kvm_get_pa_bits() return the 48-bit cap for an NV VM. That also
bounds the nested walker's limits, the emulated TLBI ranges and AT's
address size checks.
Fixes: 4f128f8e1aaac ("KVM: arm64: nv: Support multiple nested Stage-2 mmu structures")

The 48 is written here and in limit_nv_id_reg(). I couldn't derive it
from the VM's ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1, since the nested MMUs are created in
kvm_setup_vcpu(), before kvm_reset_vcpu() initialises the VM's ID
registers. Userspace can also lower PARange afterwards.
