[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH 01/16] x86/shadow: fix and improve sh_page_has_multiple_shadows()
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 <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>
[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.
