I just noticed that in __hvm_copy()/__hvm_clear(), the grant types are
handled before the p2m_ram_ro - will return HVMCOPY_unhandleable. So if
p2m_is_discard_write() is supposed to replace the handling of
p2m_ram_ro, handling of p2m_grant_map_ro will still return
HVMCOPY_unhandleable, before the p2m_is_discard_write() predicate.
Even we move the testing of p2m_is_discard_write() before the handling
of grant types, it seems not quite clean.
By "over-strict in their failure to handle grant types.", do you also
mean this?
Yes, that's the sort of thing I meant. I'll try to write a patch for
that later today or next week -- in the meantime I think you should
ignore it. :)
An unrelated thought: when you send your next version can you send it
as a two-patch series, where the first patch does the
p2m_is_discard_write() changes and the second adds your new type?
Sure, and thank you, Tim. :)
Cheers,
Tim.
