Subject: [PATCH] arm[64]/memremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to ensure presence
of linear map

The semantics of pfn_valid() is to check presence of the memory map for a PFN and not whether a PFN is covered by the linear map. The memory map may be present for NOMAP memory regions, but they won't be mapped in the linear mapping. Accessing such regions via __va() when they are memremap()'ed will cause a crash.

On v5.4.y the crash happens on qemu-arm with UEFI [1]:

On kernels v5.10.y and newer the same crash won't reproduce on ARM because commit b10d6bca8720 ("arch, drivers: replace for_each_membock() with for_each_mem_range()") changed the way memory regions are registered in the resource tree, but that merely covers up the problem.

On ARM64 memory resources registered in yet another way and there the issue of wrong usage of pfn_valid() to ensure availability of the linear map is also covered.

Implement arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() on ARM and ARM64 to prevent access to NOMAP regions via the linear mapping in memremap().

Hi Greg,

The patch below applies to 5.10.y and 5.4.y.

As for 4.19.y and older kernels, the issue this patch fixes won't reproduce because these kernels don't have backports of pfn_valid() implementation.
