And I find it odd to say "it's not a problem, we don't have any HW available". By this token, why should we merge this work the first place, or any of the MTE work that has gone into the kernel over the past years? > We have a partial solution with an array of locks to mitigate against > this but there's still the question of whether we should actually bother > for something that's unlikely to happen in practice: MAP_SHARED memory > in guests (ignoring the stage 1 case for now). > > If MAP_SHARED in guests is not a realistic use-case, we have the vma in > user_mem_abort() and if the VM_SHARED flag is set together with MTE > enabled for guests, we can reject the mapping. That's a reasonable approach. I wonder whether we could do that right at the point where the memslot is associated with the VM, like this: diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c index a36a2e3082d8..ebd3b3224386 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c @@ -1376,6 +1376,9 @@ int kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(struct kvm *kvm, if (!vma) break; + if (kvm_has_mte(kvm) && vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED) + return -EINVAL; + /* * Take the intersection of this VMA with the memory region */ which takes the problem out of the fault path altogether? We document the restriction and move on. With that, we can use a non-locking version of mte_sync_page_tags(). > We can discuss the stage 1 case separately from this series. Works for me. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
