+Subject: [PATCH 10/11] x86/mm: Fix nested de-validation on error
+
+If an invalid entry is discovered when validating a page-table tree,
+the entire tree which has so far been validated must be de-validated.
+Since this may take a long time, alloc_l[2-4]_table() set current
+vcpu's old_guest_table immediately; put_old_guest_table() will make
+sure that put_page_type() will be called to finish off the
+de-validation before any other MMU operations can happen on the vcpu.
+
+The invariant for partial pages should be:
+
+* Entries [0, nr_validated_ptes) should be completely validated;
+ put_page_type() will de-validate these.
+
+* If [nr_validated_ptes] is partially validated, partial_flags should
+ set PTF_partiaL_set. put_page_type() will be called on this page to
+ finish off devalidation, and the appropriate refcount adjustments
+ will be done.
+
+alloc_l[2-3]_table() indicates partial validation to its callers by
+setting current->old_guest_table.
+
+Unfortunately, this is mishandled.
+
+Take the case where validating lNe[x] returns an error.
+
+First, alloc_l3_table() doesn't check old_guest_table at all; as a
+result, partial_flags is not set when it should be. nr_validated_ptes
+is set to x; and since PFT_partial_set clear, de-validation resumes at
+nr_validated_ptes-1. This means that the l2 page at pl3e[x] will not
+have put_page_type() called on it when de-validating the rest of the
+l3: it will be stuck in the PGT_partial state until the domain is
+destroyed, or until it is re-used as an l2. (Any other page type will
+fail.)
+
+Worse, alloc_l4_table(), rather than setting PTF_partial_set as it
+should, sets nr_validated_ptes to x+1. When de-validating, since
+partial is 0, this will correctly resume calling put_page_type at [x];
+but, if the put_page_type() is never called, but instead
+get_page_type() is called, validation will pick up at [x+1],
+neglecting to validate [x]. If the rest of the validation succeeds,
+the l4 will be validated even though [x] is invalid.
+
+Fix this in both cases by setting PTF_partial_set if old_guest_table
+is set.
+
+While here, add some safety catches:
+- old_guest_table must point to the page contained in
+ [nr_validated_ptes].
+- alloc_l1_page shouldn't set old_guest_table
+
+If we experience one of these situations in production builds, it's
+safer to avoid calling put_page_type for the pages in question. If
+they have PGT_partial set, they will be cleaned up on domain
+destruction; if not, we have no idea whether a type count is safe to
+drop. Retaining an extra type ref that should have been dropped may
+trigger a BUG() on the free_domain_page() path, but dropping a type
+count that shouldn't be dropped may cause a privilege escalation.
+
+This is part of XSA-299.
