Then check attrs here, not pfn_valid.

attrs are not available in kmsan_handle_dma(). I can add it if you prefer.

That makes more sense to the overall design. The comments I gave
before were driving at a promise to never try to touch a struct page
for ATTR_MMIO and think this should be comphrensive to never touching
a struct page even if pfnvalid.

So let's keep this patch as is.

Still need to fix the remarks you clipped, do not check PageHighMem
just call kmap_local_pfn(). All thie PageHighMem stuff is new to this
patch and should not be here, it is the wrong way to use highmem.

Sure, thanks

I am wondering if there is some reason it was written like this in the
first place. Maybe we can't even do kmap here.. So perhaps if there is
not a strong reason to change it just continue to check pagehighmem
and fail.

if (!(attrs & ATTR_MMIO) && PageHighMem(phys_to_page(phys)))
   return;
