Subject: KVM: arm64: Reclaim faulting page from pKVM in spurious fault handler
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=281a38ad2920b5ccfbbc2a0ca0caeee110ad5d6b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

KVM: arm64: Reclaim faulting page from pKVM in spurious fault handler

Host kernel accesses to pages that are inaccessible at stage-2 result in
the injection of a translation fault, which is fatal unless an exception
table fixup is registered for the faulting PC (e.g. for user access
routines). This is undesirable, since a get_user_pages() call could be
used to obtain a reference to a donated page and then a subsequent
access via a kernel mapping would lead to a panic().

Rework the spurious fault handler so that stage-2 faults injected back
into the host result in the target page being forcefully reclaimed when
no exception table fixup handler is registered.
