So this relies on the set_pte_at() being done on the VMM address space. I wonder, if the VMM did an mprotect(PROT_NONE), can the VM still access it via stage 2? If yes, the pte_valid_user() test wouldn't work. We need something like pte_present() && addr <= user_addr_max(). BTW, ignoring virtualisation, can we ever bring a page in from swap on a PROT_NONE mapping (say fault-around)? It's not too bad if we keep the metadata around for when the pte becomes accessible but I suspect we remove it if the page is removed from swap. -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
