[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] x86/HVM: __hvm_copy() should not write to p2m_ioreq_server pages

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Commit 3bdec530a5 ("x86/HVM: split page straddling emulated accesses in
more cases") introduced a hvm_copy_to_guest_linear() attempt before
falling back to hvmemul_linear_mmio_write(). This is wrong for the
p2m_ioreq_server special case. That change widened a pre-existing issue
though: Other writes to such pages also need to be failed (or forced
through emulation), in particular hypercall buffer writes.
