Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm/mprotect: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:29:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625112955.3254283-6-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625112955.3254283-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
prot_none_hugetlb_entry() is the hugetlb callback for the early
mprotect(PROT_NONE) PFN permission walk on x86.
The callback passes the decoded PFN to pfn_modify_allowed(). For a
hugetlb callback, the pte pointer refers to a hugetlb entry. On
architectures where hugetlb entries need huge_ptep_get(), reading that
entry with ptep_get() can make the permission check use the wrong PFN.
Use huge_ptep_get() before decoding the hugetlb PFN.
Currently there is no path which can trigger a bug: huge_ptep_get() is a
simple ptep_get() for x86, and the prot_none walk occurs only for x86.
But use the correct helper anyways.
Fixes: 42e4089c7890 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings")
