This should not be necessary.  The part of the mslots array that has
base_gfn == npages == 0 is entirely unused, and such a slot can never
be returned by search_memslots because this:

         if (gfn >= memslots[slot].base_gfn &&
             gfn < memslots[slot].base_gfn + memslots[slot].npages)

can never be true.

You should have explained _why_ this fixes the bug, and what invariant
is not being respected, something like this:

     kvm: fix sorting of memslots with base_gfn == 0

     Before commit 0e60b0799fed (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size
     to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning
     that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero.
     On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid
     memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0.

     Because of this, commit 0e60b0799fed broke the invariant that invalid
     memslots are at the end of the mslots array.  When a memslot with
     base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left
     in place.

This suggests another fix.  We can change the insertion to use a ">="
comparison, as in your first patch.  Alone it is not correct, but we
only need to take some care and avoid breaking the case of deleting a
memslot.

It's enough to wrap the second loop (that you patched) with
"if (new->npages)".  In the new->npages == 0 case the first loop has
already set i to the right value, and moving i back would be wrong:

Paolo,

Can you include a proper changelog for this patch?


But this is already applied long time ago...
