The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: refactor arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and arm64 MTE handling has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-refactor-arch_calc_vm_flag_bits-and-arm64-mte-handling.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com Subject: mm: refactor arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and arm64 MTE handling Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 18:11:47 +0000
Currently MTE is permitted in two circumstances (desiring to use MTE having been specified by the VM_MTE flag) - where MAP_ANONYMOUS is specified, as checked by arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and actualised by setting the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag, or if the file backing the mapping is shmem, in which case we set VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap() when the mmap hook is activated in mmap_region().
The function that checks that, if VM_MTE is set, VM_MTE_ALLOWED is also set is the arm64 implementation of arch_validate_flags().
Unfortunately, we intend to refactor mmap_region() to perform this check earlier, meaning that in the case of a shmem backing we will not have invoked shmem_mmap() yet, causing the mapping to fail spuriously.
It is inappropriate to set this architecture-specific flag in general mm code anyway, so a sensible resolution of this issue is to instead move the check somewhere else.
We resolve this by setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED much earlier in do_mmap(), via the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() call.
This is an appropriate place to do this as we already check for the MAP_ANONYMOUS case here, and the shmem file case is simply a variant of the same idea - we permit RAM-backed memory.
This requires a modification to the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() signature to pass in a pointer to the struct file associated with the mapping, however this is not too egregious as this is only used by two architectures anyway - arm64 and parisc.
So this patch performs this adjustment and removes the unnecessary assignment of VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap().
