Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm/secretmem: properly account locked pages
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 08:16:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoQFsk9GwrZvb7rM@lucifer> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814-secretmem-accounting-v1-1-d2f8c677980b@kernel.org>

To preempt the sashiko stuff, both are false positives:

1. The per-process RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit is on purpose, it's what you'd expect,
   it matches what io_uring and every other use of the pattern does, and it's
   strictly _more_ limiting as it's per-process limit vs. total inode usage.

2. It doesn't support fallocate so hole-punching isn't an issue. Pseudo-inodes
   are used so you can't drop_caches (which is a privileged operation anyway)
   and secretmem_release() will be called eventually regardless of how things
   are discarded so there's no possibility of an imbalance.

Cheers, Lorenzo
