[PATCH V8 34/44] memremap_pages: Introduce a PGMAP_PROTECTION flag

[ira . weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

The persistent memory (PMEM) driver uses the memremap_pages facility to
provide 'struct page' metadata (vmemmap) for PMEM.  Given that PMEM
capacity maybe orders of magnitude higher capacity than System RAM it
presents a large vulnerability surface to stray writes.  Unlike stray
writes to System RAM, which may result in a crash or other undesirable
behavior, stray writes to PMEM additionally are more likely to result in
permanent data loss. Reboot is not a remediation for PMEM corruption
like it is for System RAM.

Given that PMEM access from the kernel is limited to a constrained set
of locations (PMEM driver, Filesystem-DAX, and direct-I/O to a DAX
page), it is amenable to supervisor pkey protection.

Some systems which have enabled DEVMAP_ACCESS_PROTECTION may not have
PMEM installed.  Or the PMEM may not be mapped into the direct map.

Also users other than PMEM of memremap_pages() will not want these pages
protected.

Define a new PGMAP flag, PGMAP_PROTECTION.  This can be passed in
(struct dev_pagemap)->flags when calling memremap_pages() to request
that the pages be protected.  Then use the flag to enable a static key.
The static key is used to optimize the protection away if no callers are
currently using protections.

Specifying this flag on a system which can't support protections will
fail.  Users are expected to check if protections are supported via
pgmap_protection_available() prior to asking for them.
