Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] s390/uv: New param workpage for the uv_get_secret_metadata() function
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 12:35:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250331103505.15210-2-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250331103505.15210-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>

The pkey uv handler may be called in a do-not-allocate memory
situation. For example when an encrypted swap file is used and the
encryption is done via UV retrievable secrets with protected keys.

The pkey uv handler calls uv_get_secret_metadata() and thus has a need
to have this function work without memory allocations. So this patch
extends the uv_get_secret_metadata() function to be able to work on
a provided working page instead of allocating/freeing memory via
kmalloc/kfree:

int uv_get_secret_metadata(const u8 secret_id[UV_SECRET_ID_LEN],
			   struct uv_secret_list_item_hdr *secret,
			   u8 *workpage);

Parameter workpage is a ephemeral working page used by the function.
If given (!= NULL), it needs to point to memory of at least PAGE_SIZE
bytes. If NULL, the function uses kmalloc/kfree to allocate and free a
working buffer.
