If we get a FSC_PERM fault, just using (logging_active && writable) to determine calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(). There will be two more cases we should consider. (1) After logging_active is configged back to false from true. When we get a FSC_PERM fault with write_fault and adjustment of hugepage is needed, we should merge tables back to a block entry. This case is ignored by still calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms(), which will lead to an endless loop and guest panic due to soft lockup. (2) We use (FSC_PERM && logging_active && writable) to determine collapsing a block entry into a table by calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(). But sometimes we may only need to relax permissions when trying to write to a page other than a block. In this condition,using kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() will be fine. The ISS filed bit[1:0] in ESR_EL2 regesiter indicates the stage2 lookup level at which a D-abort or I-abort occurred. By comparing granule of the fault lookup level with vma_pagesize, we can strictly distinguish conditions of calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() or kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(), and the above two cases will be well considered.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
