Re: [PATCH Part2 v6 14/49] crypto: ccp: Handle the legacy TMR allocation when SNP is enabled

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

 



Just to add here, writing to any of these pages from the Host
will trigger a RMP #PF which will cause the RMP page fault handler
to send a SIGBUS to the current process, as this page is not owned
by Host.

So calling memory_failure() is proactively doing the same,
marking the page as poisoned and probably also killing the
current process.

Thanks,
Ashish

On the other hand,

  * PG_hwpoison... Accessing is

That sounds exactly the state we want these page(s) to be in ?

Another possibility is PG_error.

Something like this:

diff --git a/include/linux/page-flags.h b/include/linux/page-flags.h
index e66f7aa3191d..baffa9c0dc30 100644
--- a/include/linux/page-flags.h
+++ b/include/linux/page-flags.h
@@ -186,6 +186,7 @@ enum pageflags {
  	 * THP.
  	 */
  	PG_has_hwpoisoned = PG_error,
+	PG_offlimits = PG_hwpoison,
  #endif
/* non-lru isolated movable page */

and SNP will have to depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE.

But I'd let mm folks correct me here on the details.
