Are you saying this?

        if ( !p2m_is_valid(p2mt) ||
             !mfn_valid(mfn) ||
             (a != p2m_access_rw) )

I'm afraid that's not enough context to know whether what you
mean to do is sufficient. Plus !p2m_is_valid() is too weak. You
simply need to properly think through what should happen if you
find a valid mapping, but any of the tuple (mfn, p2mt, a) don't
match what you intend to be there.


Actually as I understand we can create these mapping only in one case of !mfn_valid(mfn). For others scenarios we just return with that warning message no matter what that tuple is explicitly. So here I try to understand why you're saying we need check more by show this condition combination.

Thanks
