Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/3] arm64/mm: make pages read-only in the linear map
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 22:38:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609143801.7917-3-xueyuan.chen21@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609143801.7917-1-xueyuan.chen21@gmail.com>
Implement arch_make_pages_readonly() for arm64. Make the corresponding
linear-map range read-only so unexpected writes fault instead of
corrupting shared contents.
Respect can_set_direct_map() before touching the linear map. If arm64
cannot safely update the linear map at page granularity, leave the mapping
unchanged.
