Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Fix uninitialized memcache pointer in user_mem_abort()
Date: Mon, 5 May 2025 19:31:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505173148.33900-1-sebott@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit fce886a60207 ("KVM: arm64: Plumb the pKVM MMU in KVM") made the
initialization of the local memcache variable in user_mem_abort()
conditional, leaving a codepath where it is used uninitialized via
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map().
This can fail on any path that requires a stage-2 allocation
without transition via a permission fault or dirty logging.
Fix this by making sure that memcache is always valid.
