Hi, This patch series allows VMMs to use shared mappings in MTE enabled guests. The first four patches are based on the series that Catalin sent out, whose cover letter [1] I quote from below: > This series aims to fix the races between initialising the tags on a > page and setting the PG_mte_tagged flag. Currently the flag is set > either before or after that tag initialisation and this can lead to CoW > copying stale tags. The first patch moves the flag setting after the > tags have been initialised, solving the CoW issue. However, concurrent > mprotect() on a shared mapping may (very rarely) lead to valid tags > being zeroed. > > The second skips the sanitise_mte_tags() call in kvm_set_spte_gfn(), > deferring it to user_mem_abort(). The outcome is that no > sanitise_mte_tags() can be simplified to skip the pfn_to_online_page() > check and only rely on VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag that can be checked in > user_mem_abort(). > > The third and fourth patches use PG_arch_3 as a lock for page tagging, > based on Peter Collingbourne's idea of a two-bit lock. > > I think the first patch can be queued but the rest needs some in depth > review and test. With this series (if correct) we could allos MAP_SHARED > on KVM guest memory but this is to be discussed separately as there are > some KVM ABI implications. I rebased Catalin's series onto -next, addressed the issues that I identified in the review and added the proposed userspace enablement patches after the series.
