Hi Alexandru,

I'm currently reworking this series, so taking the opportunity to go
through your comments (I won't reply to them all, as most are
perfectly valid and need no further discussion).

Indeed, this needs reworking. I think that in the event of any
allocation failure, we're better off leaving things in place. Given
that we always perform a krealloc(), it should be safe to do so.

Fair enough.

I don't think the non-VHE consideration is relevant here. Trying to
distinguish between arbitrary use cases is just a massive distraction
and gets in the way of implementing the architecture correctly.

First, let's remember one thing: No matter whether we have S2 enabled
or not, TLBs are tagged by VMID. I wondered about that for a long
time, but couldn't find anything in the architecture that would
contradict this. And if you think of what a CPU must implement, it
makes more sense to always tag things than try to come up with more
fancy schemes.

Given that our shadow S2 is an ugly form of SW-loaded TLBs, matching
the VMID is critical to hit the right shadow MMU context. And since S2
*translation* is disabled, it is perfectly valid to ignore the BADDR
part of VTTBR, and VHE-vs-!VHE doesn't come into the equation.

Now, the real cause for questioning is the previous statement: why do
we decide to match on the whole VTTBR when S2 translation is enabled?
Let's imagine a guest that reuses the same VMID for different
translations (that's a bit bonkers, but unfortunately not forbidden by
the architecture if you consider per-CPU translations).

And even in the single VCPU case that would change BADDR each time
without invalidating the TLBs: If we only matched on the VMID, we
could potentially end-up with TLB conflicts, and that's not a nice
place to be. So we will just pick a new MMU context, and start
populating shadow translations based on this context. This is pretty
forgiving for broken guests, but it also simplifies the implementation.

I'm really not worried about this. If the user has asked for nested
support but doesn't make use of it, tough luck.

I've reworked this part a bit, and need to reconcile the above with
what I now have. Overall, I do agree that there is some vastly
redundant init here.

And a very belated thanks for all the work you've put into reviewing
this difficult series. Rest assured that this wasn't in vain!

Thanks,
