[PATCH V7 15/18] kmap: Add stray access protection for devmap pages

From: ira . weiny
Date: Wed Aug 04 2021 - 00:33:42 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Enable PKS protection for devmap pages. The devmap protection facility
wants to co-opt kmap_{local_page,atomic}() to mediate access to PKS
protected pages.

kmap() allows for global mappings to be established, while the PKS
facility depends on thread-local access. For this reason kmap() is not
supported, but it leaves a policy decision for what to do when kmap()
is attempted on a protected devmap page.

Neither of the 2 current DAX-capable filesystems (ext4 and xfs) perform
such global mappings. The bulk of device drivers that would handle
devmap pages are not using kmap(). Any future filesystems that gain DAX
support, or device drivers wanting to support devmap protected pages
will need to move to kmap_local_page(). In the meantime to handle these
kmap() users call pgmap_protection_flag_invalid() to flag and invalid
use of any potentially protected pages. This allows better debugging of
invalided uses vs catching faults later on when the address is used.

Direct-map exposure is already mitigated by default on HIGHMEM systems
because by definition HIGHMEM systems do not have large capacities of
memory in the direct map. Therefore, to reduce complexity HIGHMEM
systems are not supported.
