Okay. Makes sense.

It is only reachable with task != current from ptrace, which is rather
obscure path.

Anyway, I will prepare a proper patch with this fixup:

Right. That's the point of the bit. It allows SVA and LAM to co-exist:

The new ARCH_FORCE_TAGGED_SVA arch_prctl() overrides the limitation.
By using the arch_prctl() userspace takes responsibility to never pass
tagged address to the device.

I'm confused.
