Hi Quentin,

+static bool stage2_block_mapping_allowed(u64 addr, u64 end, u32 level,
+                                        struct stage2_map_data *data)
+{
+       if (data->force_pte && (level < (KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS - 1)))
+               return false;
I'm not sure I understand why checking the level is necessary. Can
there be block mapping at the last possible level?
That's probably just a matter of naming, but this function is in fact
called at every level, just like kvm_block_mapping_supported() was
before. And we rely on it returning true at the last level, so I need to
do that check here.

Maybe renaming this stage2_leaf_mapping_allowed() would clarify?
Yes it would.

Thanks,
/fuad
