Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mm/execmem: use VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for ROX cache allocations
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 13:59:28 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816-execmem-set-vm-perms-v0-2-v1-5-90944a3ad43f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816-execmem-set-vm-perms-v0-2-v1-0-90944a3ad43f@kernel.org>

Initially execmem completely removed direct map alias for the memory
allocated for the ROX cache in PMD_SIZE chunks. When that memory was
freed, its direct map was restored also in PMD_SIZE chunks to avoid
fragmentation of the direct map caused by vmalloc::vm_reset_perms().

This required execmem to implement the wrappers for set_direct_map APIs for
proper sequencing of removal and restoration of the direct map aliases.

Since then x86's CPA gained support for collapsing the direct map page
tables for ROX pages and execmem switched from removing ROX caches from the
direct map to making them ROX there, so execmem only needs to update direct
map alias permissions when freeing the ROX cache memory.

vmalloc already handles those updates for areas with VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS
set and vmalloc::vm_reset_perms() does not force split of the direct map
for PMD_SIZE chunks.

Make all execmem vmalloc allocations use VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS and remove
custom wrappers for set_direct_map APIs.
