From b34d2ef0c60e4d9c2bb8a4d72d4519c67363d390 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 11:36:19 +0100 Subject: arm64: mm: purge lazily unmapped vm regions before changing permissions Call vm_unmap_aliases() every time we apply any changes to permission attributes of mappings in the vmalloc region. This avoids any potential issues resulting from lingering writable or executable aliases of mappings that should be read-only or non-executable, respectively.
