Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next] arm64: mm: Complete the PTE store in ptep_try_set()
Date: Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:25:47 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7f5f7c94601312c1a401fb18998291cc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aiXVFK_qb54is8b1@arm.com>
ptep_try_set() installs a kernel PTE with try_cmpxchg() but, unlike
__set_pte(), skips the barriers that arm64 requires after writing a valid
kernel PTE. Without them a subsequent access can fault instead of seeing
the new mapping.
Issue them with emit_pte_barriers() rather than __set_pte_complete().
ptep_try_set() must finish the store before it returns, but
__set_pte_complete() would defer the barriers when the calling context is in
lazy MMU mode.
v2: Emit the barriers directly instead of __set_pte_complete(). (Catalin)
Fixes: 258df8fce42f ("mm: Add ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs")
