The quilt patch titled Subject: mseal: replace can_modify_mm_madv with a vma variant has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mseal-replace-can_modify_mm_madv-with-a-vma-variant.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Pedro Falcato <pedro.falcato@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mseal: replace can_modify_mm_madv with a vma variant Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2024 01:18:32 +0100 Replace can_modify_mm_madv() with a single vma variant, and associated checks in madvise. While we're at it, also invert the order of checks in: if (unlikely(is_ro_anon(vma) && !can_modify_vma(vma)) Checking if we can modify the vma itself (through vm_flags) is certainly cheaper than is_ro_anon() due to arch_vma_access_permitted() looking at e.g pkeys registers (with extra branches) in some architectures. This patch allows for partial madvise success when finding a sealed VMA, which historically has been allowed in Linux.
