Whilst debugging my PV-IOMMU code I ran into an issue with get_page_from_gfn():
It is failing when the gfn in question is actually a grant map from another
domain, and the reason for this is that get_page(page, domain) explicitly fails
if the page owner is not the domain specified to the call. However, I find that
ARM implementation of get_page_from_gfn() has a test for foreign p2m entries
and completes successfully (by avoiding a call to get_page() and instead
calling page_get_owner_and_reference() directly).
I can't think of any particular reason why, on x86, get_page_from_gfn() should
not work for foreign mapped or grant mapped pages. Does anyone know why the
restriction is there?
Cheers,
Paul
