Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 03/28] drm/i915/gvt: Verify hugepages are contiguous
 in physical address space

hi Sean

Do you think it's necessary to double check that struct page pointers
are also contiguous?

And do you like to also include a fix as below, which is to remove the
warning in vfio_device_container_unpin_pages() when npage is 0?

@ -169,7 +173,8 @@ static int gvt_pin_guest_page(struct intel_vgpu *vgpu, unsigned long gfn,
        *page = base_page;
        return 0;
 err:
-       gvt_unpin_guest_page(vgpu, gfn, npage * PAGE_SIZE);
+       if (npage)
+               gvt_unpin_guest_page(vgpu, gfn, npage * PAGE_SIZE);
        return ret;
 }

BTW, I've sent a separate fix for vfio_iommu_type1_pin_pages() to ensure
struct page is a valid address.
