[PATCH] powerpc/svm: Don't issue ultracalls if !mem_encrypt_active()

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-07-30 11:42:40

Commit ad6c00283163 ("swiotlb: Free tbl memory in swiotlb_exit()")
introduced a set_memory_encrypted() call to swiotlb_exit() so that the
buffer pages are returned to an encrypted state prior to being freed.

Sachin reports that this leads to the following crash on a Power server:

[    0.010799] software IO TLB: tearing down default memory pool
[    0.010805] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    0.010808] kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/kernel/interrupt.c:98!

Nick spotted that this is because set_memory_encrypted() is issuing an
ultracall which doesn't exist for the processor, and should therefore
be gated by mem_encrypt_active() to mirror the x86 implementation.

I assume Konrad will take this via the swiotlb tree?

cheers

Btw, we're currently reworking that whole "am I running as a
confidential guest" querying, see:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/029791b24c6412f9427cfe6ec598156c64395964.1627424774.git.thomas.lendacky@amd.com

for example.

I see Konrad has queued this for 5.15 in his devel/for-linus-5.15 branch
so if he sends it to Linus in the upcoming merge window (right Konrad?)
then I can base the rework ontop, once 5.15-rc1 releases, so that there
are no build breakages...

Thx.
