Subject: [PATCH 4/5] hibernation, KFENCE: explicitly map/unmap KFENCE pages
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:07:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917-hibernation-v1-4-7f7dfae3dbe0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917-hibernation-v1-0-7f7dfae3dbe0@kernel.org>

The pages protected by KFENCE are removed from the direct map.

safe_copy_page() temporarily maps and unmaps them using set_direct_map
APIs, or, when the stars align, even using debug_pagealloc_map_pages().

Neither of these APIs cares whether it is a KFENCE page and both blindly
perform the update of the kernel page table for any non-present page.

Ability to use debug_pagealloc_map_pages() to remap KFENCE pages when both
KFENCE and debug_pagealloc are enabled is an amusing coincidence.

But with increasing appetite for using set_direct_map for hardening
purposes, it becomes too big of a hammer to enable saving any non-present
page in the hibernation image.

Another gotcha is that loongarch that does not have a direct map at all
advertises ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP to allow coexistence of KFENCE and
hibernation.

Extend KFENCE with a bitmap that tracks which pages are protected and
provide kfence_force_mapping() and kfence_restore_mapping() APIs that allow
forced mapping and unmapping of KFENCE pages.

Use these APIs in hibernate_{map,unmap}_pages() for KFENCE pages.
