Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86, pkeys: do not special case protection key 0
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2018 14:46:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180316214656.0E059008@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180316214654.895E24EC@viggo.jf.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
mm_pkey_is_allocated() treats pkey 0 as unallocated. That is
inconsistent with the manpages, and also inconsistent with
mm->context.pkey_allocation_map. Stop special casing it and only
disallow values that are actually bad (< 0).
The end-user visible effect of this is that you can now use
mprotect_pkey() to set pkey=0.
This is a bit nicer than what Ram proposed because it is simpler
and removes special-casing for pkey 0. On the other hand, it does
allow applciations to pkey_free() pkey-0, but that's just a silly
thing to do, so we are not going to protect against it.
