[PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm64: Check for kvm_vma_mte_allowed in the critical section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On page fault, we find about the VMA that backs the page fault
early on, and quickly release the mmap_read_lock. However, using
the VMA pointer after the critical section is pretty dangerous,
as a teardown may happen in the meantime and the VMA be long gone.

Move the sampling of the MTE permission early, and NULL-ify the
VMA pointer after that, just to be on the safe side.
