[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen: grant-table: Simplify get_paged_frame



The implementation of get_paged_frame is currently different whether the
architecture support sharing memory or paging memory. Both
version are extremely similar so it is possible to consolidate in a
single implementation.

The main difference is the x86 version will allow grant on foreign page
when using HVM/PVH whilst Arm does not. At the moment, on x86 foreign pages
are only allowed for PVH Dom0. It seems that foreign pages should never
be granted so deny them

The check for shared/paged memory are now gated with the respective ifdef.
Potentially, dummy p2m_is_shared/p2m_is_paging could be implemented for
Arm.

    Changes in v2:
        - Deny grant on foreign page (aligned with the ARM code)
        - Use #ifdef rather than #if defined
        - Update commit message
        - Fix typo in the title

get_page_from_gfn will be able to get reference on foreign page and as
per my understanding will allow to grant page on foreign memory.

This was not allowed with a simple get_page(...) on the ARM
implementation (no sharing nor paging supprot) but is allowed on the x86
implementation due to get_page_from_gfn.

On x86, foreign pages are currently only allowed for PVH dom0, so I
think it is not a big deal for now.

On Arm, foreign pages can be present on any domain. So this patch would
permit grant on foreing pages.

This patch will deny granting foreign pages. Jan Beulich is happy with
it. Any other opinions?
