From 1ef488edd6c4d447784710974f049628c2890481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2022 16:56:16 +0100 Subject: mm/mprotect: drop pgprot_t parameter from change_protection() Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking). vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth. Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.
