The whole thing is complicated once you put the pages into the VMA. We have hmm_range_fault and IOMMU SVA paths that both obtain the pfns without any of the checks here. (and I suspect many of the target HW's for pKVM have/will have SVA capable GPUs so SVA is an attack vector worth considering) What happens if someone does DMA to these PFNs? It seems like nothing good in either scenario.. Really the only way to do it properly is to keep the memory unmapped, that must be the starting point to any solution. Denying GUP is just an ugly hack. Jason
