This reverts commit e5b8d9218951e59df986f627ec93569a0d22149b. Pages mapped in user-space with PROT_MTE have the allocation tags either zeroed or copied/restored to some user values. In order for the kernel to access such pages via page_address(), resetting the tag in page->flags was necessary. This tag resetting was deferred to set_pte_at() -> mte_sync_page_tags() but it can race with another CPU reading the flags (via page_to_virt()): P0 (mte_sync_page_tags): P1 (memcpy from virt_to_page): Rflags!=0xff Wflags=0xff DMB (doesn't help) Wtags=0 Rtags=0 // fault Since now the post_alloc_hook() function resets the page->flags tag when unpoisoning is skipped for user pages (including the __GFP_ZEROTAGS case), revert the arm64 commit calling page_kasan_tag_reset().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
