Could I suggest that we add an ASSERT() to that macro, that maddr is page aligned? The algorithm used certainly assumes that's the case, and would produce incorrect results if it were ever validly true. Such an ASSERT() would also have detected the storing-garbage-in-maddr issue almost immediately. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
