While no caller currently invokes the function without first making sure there is at least one shadow [1], we'd better eliminate UB here: find_first_set_bit() requires input to be non-zero to return a well- defined result.
Further, using find_first_set_bit() isn't very efficient in the first place for the intended purpose. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeul...@suse.com> [1] The function has exactly two uses, and both are from OOS code, which is HVM-only. For HVM (but not for PV) sh_mfn_is_a_page_table(), guarding the call to sh_unsync(), guarantees at least one shadow. Hence even if sh_page_has_multiple_shadows() returned a bogus value when invoked for a PV domain, the subsequent is_hvm_vcpu() and oos_active checks (the former being redundant with the latter) will compensate. (Arguably that oos_active check should come first, for both clarity and efficiency reasons.) --- Considering present uses, ASSERT(shadows) might be an option as well, instead of making the null check part of the return value expression. --- a/xen/arch/x86/mm/shadow/private.h +++ b/xen/arch/x86/mm/shadow/private.h @@ -332,7 +332,7 @@ static inline int sh_page_has_multiple_s return 0; shadows = pg->shadow_flags & SHF_page_type_mask; /* More than one type bit set in shadow-flags? */ - return ( (shadows & ~(1UL << find_first_set_bit(shadows))) != 0 ); + return shadows && (shadows & (shadows - 1)); } #if (SHADOW_OPTIMIZATIONS & SHOPT_OUT_OF_SYNC)
