Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: arm64: skip pKVM cache flushes for non cacheable mappings
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:37:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623163756.4591-1-include@grrlz.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623160339.15143-1-include@grrlz.net>

pKVM keeps its own mapping list for stage 2 operations. Its flush path
uses that list directly, so it lost the PTE attribute check done by the
generic stage 2 walker.

Record whether a mapping is cacheable and skip cache maintenance for
mappings that are not cacheable.

Fixes: e912efed485a ("KVM: arm64: Introduce the EL1 pKVM MMU")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Bradley Morgan <include@grrlz.net>

Changes in v2:
- Add patch 2 for the pKVM permission fault mapping cache bug.
