Sorry for late reply, after carefully check the kerenl update status
in Mediatek's branch. I've found we got this patch (df325e05a682
("arm64: Validate tagged addresses in access_ok() called from kernel
threads")) updated into internal Mediatek's working tree around Feb 23
or 24. However, I'm not sure why that patch cannot work in my own
working tree at that time. I've indeed dumped user space address and
checked the return result in access_ok() and found it was not worked.

In these days I've clean up all my working space and re-test this patch,
I've found to check PF_KTHREAD and TIF_TAGGED_ADDR was enough to solve
this problem. Sorry for bothering I'm not sure what causes that fail in
previous environment.

Moreover, I've tested PF_WQ_WORKER case, if we replaced test flag
PF_KTHREAD by PF_WQ_WORKER, AIO will still be worked, too. Both code

A.
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI) &&
		(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD || test_thread_flag(TIF_TAGGED_ADDR)))

or

B.
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI) &&
		(current->flags & PF_WQ_WORKER || test_thread_flag(TIF_TAGGED_ADDR)))

are worked for this issue.

Many thanks to Catalin and Evgenii.
