Subject: [PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Zero shared pages after conversion
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:50:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820105026.53208-2-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820105026.53208-1-steven.price@arm.com>

its_alloc_pages_node() passes __GFP_ZERO to the page allocator before
calling set_memory_decrypted(). This assumes that converting a page from
private to shared preserves its contents.

For Arm CCA with MEC (Memory Encryption Contexts) the key used to access
the page will change, and so by default the visible data will change.
The host could ensure that it zeros the page, but rather than relying on
the host's behaviour it's best if the guest simply zeros after the
decryption rather than before. Specifically in this case the ITS tables
are required to be zeroed.

Mask out __GFP_ZERO from the allocation request, and do the zeroing as a
separate step after decryption.

Fixes: b08e2f42e86b ("irqchip/gic-v3-its: Share ITS tables with a non-trusted hypervisor")
