>As discussed in [1], the lookup should be done in kvm->mm, along the lines of host_pfn_mapping_level().

With lookup_address_in_mm() now removed in 5.19, this is now using lookup_address_in_pgd() though still using non init-mm, and as mentioned here in [1], it makes sense to
not use lookup_address_in_pgd() as it does not play nice with userspace mappings, e.g. doesn't disable IRQs to block TLB shootdowns and doesn't use READ_ONCE()
to ensure an upper level entry isn't converted to a huge page between checking the PAGE_SIZE bit and grabbing the address of the next level down.

But is KVM going to provide its own variant of lookup_address_in_pgd() that is safe for use with user addresses, i.e., a generic version of lookup_address() on kvm->mm or we need to
duplicate page table walking code of host_pfn_mapping_level() ?

Thanks,
Ashish
