Currently the pfncache page offset is sometimes determined using the gpa
and sometimes the khva, whilst the uhva is always page-aligned. After a
subsequent patch is applied the gpa will not always be valid so adjust
the code to include the page offset in the uhva and use it consistently
as the source of truth.

Also, where a page-aligned address is required, use PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN()
for clarity.

There's a subtle behaviour change here, isn't there? I'd *really* like
you do say 'No functional change intended' where that is true, and then
the absence of that sentence in this one would be meaningful.

You are now calling hva_to_pfn_retry() even when the uhva page hasn't
changed. Which is harmless and probably not important, but IIUC fixable
by the addition of:

But I don't really think it's that important if you can come up with a
coherent justification for the change and note it in the commit
message. So either way:

I don't understand how the uhva('s offset) could be changed when both gpa and
slot are not changed. Maybe I have no knowledge of xen, but in later
patch you said your uhva would never change...

It doesn't change on a normal refresh with kvm_gpc_refresh(), which is
just for revalidation after memslot changes or MMU invalidation.

But it can change if the gpc is being reinitialized with a new address
(perhaps because the guest has made another hypercall to set the
address, etc.)

That new address could happen to be in the *same* page as the previous
one. In fact the xen_shinfo_test explicitly tests that case, IIRC.

And kvm_gpc_activate() also happens to use __kvm_gpc_refresh()
internally.

True; I can keep that optimization and then I will indeed add 'no 
functional change'... Didn't seem worth it at the time, but no harm.

In this case, the lower bits of new gpa should be different to gpc->gpa,
so will hit "if (gpc->gpa != gpa ...)" branch.

And I see this comment is deleted in v9, which makes sense to me.

Thanks,

I think that 'if (gpc->gpa != gpa); branch is also gratuitously
refreshing when it doesn't need to; it only needs to refresh if the
*aligned* gpas don't match.

But it was like that already, so I won't heckle Paul any further :)

I did look at that but decided that gfn_to_hva_memslot() was 
sufficiently lightweight that it was not really worth optimising.
