Ah yes that's because my series is based on v6.17-rc4 but [1] isn't in mainline yet. I'll rebase v2 on top of mm-stable. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/0d2efb7ddddbff6b288fbffeeb10166e90771718.1755528662.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com/ (local)
But here, the usage is like:
static int kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte()
{
...
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode();
...
arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode();
...
}
Might be you can call the arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() with LAZY_MMU_DEFAULT
in here since I think kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() wouldn't be called
nestly.In fact in that case it doesn't matter if the section is nested or not. We're already assuming that lazy_mmu is enabled, and we want to fully disable it so that PTE operations take effect immediately. For that to happen we must call arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(LAZY_MMU_DEFAULT). We will then re-enable lazy_mmu, and the next call to leave() will do the right thing whether it is nested or not. It's worth nothing the same situation occurs in xen_flush_lazy_mmu() and this patch handles it in the way I've just described. I'll take care of that in v2, thanks for the heads-up! - Kevin
