Subject: [PATCH 0/9] x86/mm: CPA robustness fixes and cleanups
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 18:31:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112-fixes-x86-v1-0-791adb8d6670@kernel.org> (raw)

These are x86 CPA robustness fixes and cleanups I found while working on
a generic implementation of the set_memory APIs.

The first three patches fix issues that are unlikely to happen in
practice, but are still worth fixing even if only to avoid LLM spam:
* CPA does not flush the TLB when only an alias of the requested range
  changes, and the alias keeps stale TLB entries.
* mark_rodata_ro() ignores a failure to write protect the kernel and
  enables the read-only protections anyway.
* set_memory_encrypted() and set_memory_decrypted() map random physical
  memory at an unmapped address instead of failing.

The rest are smaller robustness changes and cleanups.
