Subject: [PATCH 12/45] KVM: x86/mmu: intersect writability from __kvm_faultin_pfn with fault->map_writable
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 12:40:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102174130.8779-13-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102174130.8779-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
fault->map_writable is currently a pure output of __kvm_faultin_pfn(),
which is the only thing that restricts it. This will no longer hold once
memory protections derived from memory attributes are applied: those
compute their own access permissions that combine with those from
__kvm_faultin_pfn().
Applying them *before* faulting in the pfn lets a fault that violates
the attributes exit to userspace without the cost of gup and/or an
async #PF; but it means that permissions will then be restricted in two
independent steps, first by memory attributes and then by __kvm_faultin_pfn().
Switch fault->map_writable to that model by letting kvm_mmu_faultin_pfn()
only clear bits rather than assign them.
No functional change intended: nothing writes fault->map_writable between
the initializer and __kvm_mmu_faultin_pfn() yet, so the AND is equivalent
to the assignment it replaces.
