In the longer run, is returning just the PA really going to be sufficient?
If not, perhaps say a word on the limitation in the description.
In the long run, this function's prototype looks like|paddr_t pt_walk(vaddr_t
root, vaddr_t va, bool is_xen)| [1]. However, I'm not sure if it will stay that
way,
as I think|is_xen| could be skipped, since using|map_table()| should be
sufficient (as it now considers|system_state|) and I'm not really sure if I
need root argument
as initial goal was to use this function for debug only purposes and I've never
used it for guest page table (stage-1) walking.
Anyway, yes, it is still returning a physical address, and that seems enough to
me.
Could you share your thoughts on what I should take into account for returning
value, probably, I am missing something really useful?

Seeing 0 as initializer here, just to double check: You do prevent MFN 0
to be handed to the page allocator, and you also don't use it "manually"
anywhere?
MFN 0 could be used when removing the
page:https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/blob/staging/xen/arch/riscv/pt.c?ref_type=heads#L251
<https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/blob/staging/xen/arch/riscv/pt.c?ref_type=heads#L251>.
In that case, it would be better to initialize|pa| with|(paddr_t)(-1)|, as this
value couldn't be mapped and is safe to use as an invalid value.

Even if it's a dprintk(), I'd recommend against adding such.

Missing "else if ( ret == XEN_TABLE_NORMAL )" (or maybe simply "else")?
If I am not missing something, we can't be here with ret == XEN_TABLE_NORMAL
because we iterating
in the while loop above until we don't find a leaf or until reach level = 0. If
we find a leaf then
XEN_TABLE_SUPER_PAGE is returned; otherwise sooner or later we should face a
case when next table
(in case when `level`=0 and someone put at this level a pointer to next level,
what is a bug) should
be allocated in pt_next_level(), but it will fail because `alloc_tbl`=false is
passed to pt_next_level()
and thereby ret=XEN_TABLE_MAP_NONE() will be returned.
Based on your previous comment about dprintk this could could be re-written in
the following way:
- if ( ret == XEN_TABLE_MAP_NONE )
- dprintk(XENLOG_WARNING, "Is va(%#lx) really mapped?\n", va);
- else if ( ret == XEN_TABLE_SUPER_PAGE )
+ if ( ret != XEN_TABLE_MAP_NONE )
pa = pte_to_paddr(*(table + offsets[level + 1]));
+ return pa;
Don't you want to OR in the low 12 bits of VA here (unless "pa" is still 0)?
It is a bug, and IIUC if `pa` isn't 0 it is still need to add the low bits of
VA to `pa`:
return pa | (va & ((1 << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1));
(I think that I saw somewhere a macros to generate masks but can't find where)
Thanks.
