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?

Won't this break QEMU running in stub domains?

I haven't tested it, but I'm afraid QEMU running in a stub domain
might try to grant a foreign frame. Ie: the emulated network code in
QEMU might try to grant a foreign frame in order to forward operations
from emulated devices to PV frontends.

I don't think it will break any existing setup because foreign mapping 
are only allowed for the hardware domain (see p2m_add_foreign).

Now, what should be expected in the future? I am not sure why we would 
allow grant on foreign mapping. It is very similar to QEMU granting a 
page that was granted by another domain, this is not allowed today.

IIRC this only applies to auto-translated (HVM) domains, not to PV
domains. QEMU stubdomains are PV guests.

That seems reasonable to me. You can't grant frames that have been grant mapped from another domain (except by using v2 transitive grants) so disallowing granting of priv mapped frames is at least consistent.

I do wonder whether this function belongs in the grant table code though. Getting the page from a (d, gfn) tuple is probably something that's needed in a few places and hence putting the code in common/memory.c (with suitable adjustment to the error values) would seem more appropriate.

That's been true from the very beginning of the existence of
the function, I think.

I am not sure how this function would fit in common/memory.c code. We 
already have get_page_from_gfn to get a page from the tuple (d, gfn).

This function adds more check that may not fit everyone. The only place 
I could see potential usage is prepare_ring_for_helper. But what would 
be a suitable name given?

Still, p2m_map_foreign can only be used for auto-translated domains.

Furthermore, if you look at the implementation of get_page_from_gfn, for 
PV domain is basically a get_page(page, d) that can't not work on 
foreign pages.

So I really don't see any problem here.

But that doesn't have the extra logic for populating and unsharing right? Otherwise why would get_paged_frame() need to exist at all?

I would leave the name alone and just move the code.

Actually I didn't mean to suggest you do anything beyond what
the patch already does. If you, Paul, or anyone else feel like
moving the function, it would probably better be a separate
patch (and we may then want to think of not only a better name,
but also where else such that function may be usable).

This code does not have the logic to unshare. It just denies it.

There are multiple places in grant-table which require similar check. 
Hence why the helper is here to avoid duplicating the code in grant_table.c.

With this patch, this will contain specific check for grant mapping, 
such as denying foreign mapping. Are we going to impose that for 
get_paged_frame in common/memory.c?

The name does not make sense in common/memory.c. Why would you allow 
populating but not unsharing? This looks to me a decision that fits 
grant-table and not necessarily the rest of the Xen.

So I still don't think this would be a suitable function in common/memory.c

Ok, I'll do it then. I need the same functionality for PV-IOMMU.

You only get here when you have taken a ref on the page. You should drop
the ref before returning.

Oh, so you are limiting this only for auto-translated guests? Should
have looked more closely at the commit message.
