Subject: [PATCH V10 27/44] memremap_pages: Introduce a PGMAP_PROTECTION flag

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

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 configured DEVMAP_ACCESS_PROTECTION may not have
PMEM installed.  Or the PMEM may not be mapped into the direct map.  In
addition, some callers of memremap_pages() will not want the mapped
pages protected.

Define a new PGMAP flag to distinguish page maps which are protected.
Use this flag to enable runtime protection support.  A static key is
used to optimize the runtime support.

Specifying this flag on a system which can't support protections will
fail.  Callers are expected to check if protections are supported via
pgmap_protection_available().  It was considered to have callers specify
the flag and check if the dev_pagemap object returned was protected or
not.  But this was considered less efficient than a direct check
beforehand.
