Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 2/6] riscv/mm: add untagged_addr_remote_unlocked()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:00:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717170036.743149-3-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717170036.743149-1-riel@surriel.com>
__access_remote_vm() untags the remote address before looking up the VMA,
now without holding the mmap lock. riscv defines untagged_addr_remote() but
not untagged_addr_remote_unlocked(), so it falls back to the generic
version, which untags with untagged_addr().
That reads current->mm, not the target mm, so a remote access to a process
using pointer masking would untag with the wrong mask.
mm->context.pmlen is set only through PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL and is stable
afterwards, so it can be read without the mmap lock, as it already is from
untagged_addr() and mm_untag_mask().
Add untagged_addr_remote_unlocked(), which untags against the target mm,
and annotate context.pmlen accesses with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() so
the lockless reads are explicit and KCSAN-clean. untagged_addr_remote()
keeps its mmap_assert_locked() and shares the code.
