If we do not, we will do this: 1. app sets VMA pkey to K 2. app touches a !present page 3. do_page_fault(), allocates and maps page, sets pte.pkey=K 4. return to userspace 5. touch instruction reexecutes, but triggers PF_PK 6. do PKEY signal What happens with this patch applied: 1. app sets VMA pkey to K 2. app touches a !present page 3. do_page_fault() notices that K is inaccessible 4. do PKEY signal We basically skip the fault that does an allocation. So what this lets us do is protect areas from even being *populated* unless it is accessible according to protection keys. That seems handy to me and makes protection keys work more like an mprotect()'d mapping.
