      KVM: Use kvm_pfn_t for local PFN variable in hva_to_pfn_remapped() · a9545779
      Sean Christopherson authored
      Use kvm_pfn_t, a.k.a. u64, for the local 'pfn' variable when retrieving
      a so called "remapped" hva/pfn pair.  In theory, the hva could resolve to
      a pfn in high memory on a 32-bit kernel.
      
      This bug was inadvertantly exposed by commit bd2fae8d ("KVM: do not
      assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn"), which added an error PFN value
      to the mix, causing gcc to comlain about overflowing the unsigned long.

      mm: provide a saner PTE walking API for modules · 9fd6dad1
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      Currently, the follow_pfn function is exported for modules but
      follow_pte is not.  However, follow_pfn is very easy to misuse,
      because it does not provide protections (so most of its callers
      assume the page is writable!) and because it returns after having
      already unlocked the page table lock.
      
      Provide instead a simplified version of follow_pte that does
      not have the pmdpp and range arguments.  The older version
      survives as follow_invalidate_pte() for use by fs/dax.c.
