[RFC PATCH 13/16] arm64: mm: Reset pkey in __tlb_remove_table()
Posted by Kevin Brodsky 1 year ago
Page table pages are typically freed via tlb_remove_table() and
friends. Ensure that the linear mapping for those pages is reset to
the default pkey when CONFIG_KPKEYS_HARDENED_PGTABLES is enabled.

This patch is a no-op if CONFIG_KPKEYS_HARDENED_PGTABLES is disabled
(default).

Same as for the others, perhaps stick this in generic code instead of in
the arch code?

This should be doable, with some refactoring. __tlb_remove_table() is
currently called from two functions in mm/mmu_gather.c, I suppose I
could create a wrapper there that calls
kpkeys_unprotect_pgtable_memory() and then __tlb_remove_table(). Like in
the p4d case I do however wonder how robust this is, as
__tlb_remove_table() could end up being called from other places.

I don't foresee other __tlb_remove_table() users, this is all rather
speicific code. But if there ever were to be new users, it is something
they would have to take into consideration.

Fair enough, I'll handle that in mm/mmu_gather.c then.
