If this page was swapped out and mapped back in, where does the
restoring from swap happen?

Restoring from swap happens above this in the call to gfn_to_pfn_prot()

Looking at the call chain, gfn_to_pfn_prot() ends up with
get_user_pages() using the current->mm (the VMM) and that does a
set_pte_at(), presumably restoring the tags. Does this mean that all
memory mapped by the VMM in user space should have PROT_MTE set?
Otherwise we don't take the mte_sync_tags() path in set_pte_at() and no
tags restored from swap (we do save them since when they were mapped,
PG_mte_tagged was set).

So I think the code above should be similar to mte_sync_tags(), even
calling a common function, but I'm not sure where to get the swap pte
from.

You're right - the code is broken as it stands. I've just been able to
reproduce the loss of tags due to swap.

The problem is that we also don't have a suitable pte to do the restore from
swap from. So either set_pte_at() would have to unconditionally check for
MTE tags for all previous swap entries as you suggest below. I had a quick
go at testing this and hit issues with the idle task getting killed during
boot - I fear there are some fun issues regarding initialisation order here.

My attempt here but not fully tested (just booted, no swap support):

Ah, very similar to what I had, just without the silly mistake... ;)

I just did a quick test with this and it seems to work. I obviously should have looked harder before giving up on this approach.

Thanks!

Steve
