I think it makes more sense once merged with -next, as the CMO has
been moved into the PT code. I came up with the following resolution:

        if (vma_pagesize == PAGE_SIZE && !(force_pte || device))
                vma_pagesize = transparent_hugepage_adjust(memslot, hva,
                                                           &pfn, &fault_ipa);

        if (fault_status != FSC_PERM && !device && kvm_has_mte(kvm)) {
                /* Check the VMM hasn't introduced a new VM_SHARED VMA */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED))
                        ret = sanitise_mte_tags(kvm, pfn, vma_pagesize);
                else
                        ret = -EFAULT;
                if (ret)
                        goto out_unlock;
        }

        if (writable)
                prot |= KVM_PGTABLE_PROT_W;


However, there is a more annoying issue here, which is that the vma is
accessed outside of the mm lock. I *think* we're safe because if an
unmap happens in parallel, the MMU notifier will kick and we will be
in one of two cases:

- the unmap occurs before we take the kvm->mmu_lock, and the mmu
  notifier seq_lock is want saves us (we will drop everything and take
  the fault again),

- it occurs once we hold the lock, and this blocks the unmap.

Either way, I'd be more confident if the shared state was sampled
inside the locked section.

Thoughts?

        M.
