[PATCH 1/3] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Zero ITS pages before sharing them with the host
From: Fuad Tabba
Date: Fri Nov 06 2026 - 07:07:52 EST
In a pKVM protected guest, the ITS driver shares every page it
allocates for the GIC with the host, through set_memory_decrypted() in
its_alloc_pages_node(). its_allocate_prop_table() is the only caller
that doesn't pass __GFP_ZERO. It fills the table after the call
returns, so until then the host can read the page's previous contents,
at least 64KiB of guest memory.
Zero every page in its_alloc_pages_node() before it is shared. Every
caller except the property table already passes __GFP_ZERO.
