Subject: [PATCH 3/4] s390/mm: Remove folio handling for secure storage access exceptions
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:14:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716141436.2125703-4-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716141436.2125703-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Remove folio handling for secure storage access exceptions that happen
via the kernel mapping. Using folio_try_get() for exceptions via the
kernel mapping is racy: for example such an exception may happen on one
CPU, while a different CPU frees the corresponding page. Subsequently the
page can be part of a folio of different size, before the faulting CPU
executes folio_try_get(). This may lead to data corruption.
As of now this scenario does not seem to be possible, however with the
upcoming load_unaligned_zeropad() this is possible.
As a side effect PG_arch_1 is not cleared anymore for such faults via the
kernel mapping. However given that this bit is over-indicating it
shouldn't matter.
