 The core function, p2m_set_suppress_ve_multi(), does not brake in case
 of a error and it is doing a best effort for setting the bits in the

Well, I'm also sorry that I'm having trouble on my end.  :-)  You'd
think that you doing "git send-email" and me doing "git am" would Just
Work(tm), and it's frustrating that it doesn't.  *Hopefully* those

I didn't have anything set for transferEncoding in .gitconfig but I can set
 assume8bitEncoding = yes
 transferEncoding = 8bit

for the future.

There's something strangely deformed in your mail that makes it hard for
me to apply the patches to my tree, and I'm not sure why.

It seems the core mail is base64-encrypted; and that *inside* that
base64 encryption is a bunch of Windows-style linefeeds.  The result is
that when I try to download your series and apply it with git-am, I get
loads of rejected hunks with "^M" at the end of them.

Sometimes I've been able to work around this by going on patchew.org/Xen
and getting an mbox from there; but it doesn't seem to have your series
(perhaps because it doesn't have a cover letter).

Looking at the headers, it seems this is coming from git itself.  Do you
perhaps have "transferEncoding" set to "base64"?  If so, chance you
could try setting it to 'auto', and setting 'assume8bitEncoding = true"?

Not sure why this is such a pain; it seems like this should have been
sorted out somehow by now.

I'm afraid I don't understand the reference to EINVAL.

As to "greater importance" - I'm not sure I follow. Please take a
look at e.g. do_event_channel_op(), but there are numerous other
examples throughout the tree. The pattern there is a common on,
and what you do here doesn't match that.

Indeed, all the places where a caller (i.e. potentially guest)
provided value gets used as array index.

Why NULL? This isn't what I had in mind. Quite clearly you would
initialize p2m from host_p2m, eliminating the need for the "else"
altogether.

This may be one possibility (depending on what the inteneded
behavior for GFNs above this value is). Another would be to
simply judge from the guest's CPUID setting for the number of
physical address bits.

I thought about this and the only error that can be replaced here is 
EINVAL. A error on __copy_to_guest has a grater importance if this fails.

Sure, this can change to p2m = ap2m = 
d->arch.altp2m_p2m[array_index_nospec(sve->view, MAX_ALTP2M).

But what preexisting uses are you talking about? All the places where 
d->arch.altp2m_p2m[idx] is used? If so, there will be a handful of 
changes in that new patch.

The only reason I can see for this pattern is that p2m will be assigned 
a value but ap2m can never get a value. But I agree with you and I will 
have them both initialized with NULL.

I was following the pattern from range_share() after Tamas requested the 
opaque field. I agree that it would be simpler to have ->first_gfn 
update and I can change to that in the next version.

Do you mean to check ->first_gfn(that will be updated in the next 
version) against domain_get_maximum_gpfn() and bail after that range?

And I guess you want to adjust the commit message to cover this
fact.

Do you really want to replace a possible prior error here?

These want array_index_nospec() or alike used (and the pre-existing
similar uses taken care of in a separate patch).

Each time I see yet another instance of this pattern appear, I
wonder why this is. Use (or not) of initializers should be
consistent at least within individual functions. I.e. either
you initialize both ap2m and p2m in their declaration, or you
do so for neither of them.

Please no two blank lines next to one another.

There are no checks on ->last_gfn, ->first_gfn, or ->opaque.
At the very least a bogus ->opaque should result in an error.
I wonder though why you don't simply update ->first_gfn,
omitting the need for ->opaque. All this would need is a
comment in the public header clarifying that callers should
expect the values to change.

Furthermore I think it would be helpful to bail on entirely
out of range ->first_gfn. This being a 64-bit field, only
40 of the bits are actually usable from an architecture pov
(in reality it may be even less). Otherwise you potentially
invoke p2m_ept_set_entry() perhaps trillions of times just
for it to return -EINVAL from its first if().

Drop either "from" or "of"?

Perhaps use this field to report the error code of the first
error encountered?

Afaics there's a requirement that the caller put zero in here
for the initial invocation. This should be noted in a comment.

> +uint64_t first_error; /* Gfn of the first error. */

Actually the same appears to apply to this one.
