I'll take into account in the next patch version.

Let's see what the maintainers say. I'm not completely happy either. Initially I thought that it would be better to pass all this stuff as function's arguments. But then it is needed to provide an access to stage1_pgtbl_root ( get_root_pt() function ? ). So remove_identity_mapping() will be called as remove_identity_mapping(get_root_pt(), _start, CONFIG_PAGING_LELVELS -1 ) or remove_identity_mapping(NULL, _start, CONFIG_PAGING_LELVELS -1 ) and then check if first argument is NULL then initialize it with stage1_pgtbl_root. Also I am not sure that an 'user' should provide all this information to such function.

I forgot to restore pgtbl and pt_level because initially I used a function arguments to pass that information so it wasn't needed to restore them. Regarding xen_size and pte_nums it looks like it is needed to init only once on each page table level. For example we have the following situation: ---------------------- non-identity-mapping identity-mapping ---------------------- C identity-mapping ---------------------- B identity-mapping ---------------------- A So we calculated that we need to remove 3 ptes, for first two ptes ( as only identity mapping is there) are removed without any issue, then move load_addr to C and run recursion for the pte 'C' to go to next page table level. At new level we are calculating how many ptes are needed to be removed and remove only necessary amount of ptes. When we will back to prev page table level pte_num will be 1 then we will go to the head of the cycle, decrease pte_num to 0 and exit. The same is with the case when non-idenitity-mapping is lower than identity mapping ( but it looks like it is not a case becase XEN_VIRT_START addr is the highest address by its defintion. Probably it is needed to add a check ): we know that pte_num = 3 at some level. Then we go to the next level and remove there only identity map ptes, back to previous level, decrease pte_num to 2 and remove only 2 remaining ptes. ~ Oleksii
