# Commit 777c71d31325bc55ba1cc3f317d4155fe519ab0b # Date 2024-06-13 16:54:17 +0200 # Author Jan Beulich # Committer Jan Beulich x86/EPT: avoid marking non-present entries for re-configuring For non-present entries EMT, like most other fields, is meaningless to hardware. Make the logic in ept_set_entry() setting the field (and iPAT) conditional upon dealing with a present entry, leaving the value at 0 otherwise. This has two effects for epte_get_entry_emt() which we'll want to leverage subsequently: 1) The call moved here now won't be issued with INVALID_MFN anymore (a respective BUG_ON() is being added). 2) Neither of the other two calls could now be issued with a truncated form of INVALID_MFN anymore (as long as there's no bug anywhere marking an entry present when that was populated using INVALID_MFN).
