Subject: [PATCH v8 14/15] mm/kasan: Introduce helpers for lazy MMU mode sanitizer
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 13:41:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e42d9f02ec1f8478a50fce424b95d0e7ff6a359f.1791365932.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791365932.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com>

Provide helpers that allow architectures implement
illegitimate PTE direct accesses while the lazy MMU
mode is enabled, such as:

	pte_t pte = *ptep;
	*ptep = pte;

By contrast, these would have to be:

	pte_t pte = ptep_get(ptep);
	set_pte(ptep, pte);

The direct PTE accesses pose a real issue on s390.
