In the restore path, swsusp_arch_suspend_exit uses copy_page() to over-write memory. However, with features like KFENCE enabled, there could be situations where it may have marked some pages as not valid, due to which it could be reported as invalid accesses. Consider a situation where page 'P' was part of the hibernation image. Now, when the resume kernel tries to restore the pages, the same page 'P' is already in use in the resume kernel and is kfence protected, due to which its mapping is removed from linear map. Since restoring pages happens with the resume kernel page tables, we would end up accessing 'P' during copy and results in kernel pagefault. The proposed fix tries to solve this issue by marking PTE as valid for such kfence protected pages.

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.
