This should be current_level >= PG_LEVEL_4K. It's the same, but easier to read. > + pte = virt_get_pte(vm, pte, vaddr, current_level); > + if (vm_is_target_pte(pte, level, current_level)) Seems like vm_is_target_pte() is written with the assumption that it operates on an upper-level PTE, but I think it works on 4K PTEs as well. > + return pte; > + } > > - return virt_get_pte(vm, pde, vaddr, PG_LEVEL_4K); > + return pte; > } > > uint64_t *vm_get_page_table_entry(struct kvm_vm *vm, uint64_t vaddr) > -- > 2.51.0.470.ga7dc726c21-goog >
