The justification for dropping p2m_mmio_dm from p2m_is_valid() was wrong
for two of the shadow mode uses.

In _sh_propagate() we want to create special L1 entries for p2m_mmio_dm
pages. Hence we need to make sure we don't bail early for that type.

In _sh_page_fault() we want to handle p2m_mmio_dm by forwarding to
(internal or external) emulation. Pull the !p2m_is_mmio() check out of
the || expression (as otherwise it would need adding to the lhs as
well).

In both cases, p2m_is_valid() in combination with p2m_is_grant() still
doesn't cover foreign mappings. Hence use p2m_is_any_ram() plus (as
necessary) p2m_mmio_* instead.

Fixes: be59cceb2dbb ("x86/P2M: don't include MMIO_DM in p2m_is_valid()")

This still leaves the p2m_mmio_dm vs p2m_invalid unaddressed.

While propagating #PF to the guest based on P2M type isn't quite right,
not doing so in sh_page_fault() would lead to no forward progress in the
guest anymore: If we put in place a non-present shadow PTE, another #PF
will occur right after exiting to the guest. Doing so is only okay as a
transient measure, e.g. while paging back in a paged-out page (where the
respective type is included in P2M_RAM_TYPES).

There could likely be at least one more Fixes: tag (to cover the lack of
handling foreign mappings); the one supplied is merely to indicate the
connection to the recent regression.

Would you mind adding some comment here about the need to forward
p2m_mmio_dm to the emulation, and hence not possible to short-circuit
here?

Thanks, Roger.

I’ve tested this one on top of the current staging and it fixes the XTF regression
I was experiencing:
