    KVM: Do not incorporate page offset into gfn=>pfn cache user address · 3ba2c95e
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Don't adjust the userspace address in the gfn=>pfn cache by the page
    offset from the gpa.  KVM should never use the user address directly, and
    all KVM operations that translate a user address to something else
    require the user address to be page aligned.  Ignoring the offset will
    allow the cache to reuse a gfn=>hva translation in the unlikely event
    that the page offset of the gpa changes, but the gfn does not.  And more
    importantly, not having to (un)adjust the user address will simplify a
    future bug fix.
