I'm not sure I understand. Can you elaborate?

The kernel invalidates all translations when the file descriptor is
closed.  So no, unless the PSL was badly behaving and ignoring the
invalidations.... but if we can't trust the PSL we're screwed.

We only map what a user processes maps and we tear it down when the
process is teared down (on the file descriptor release).  So I think we
are ok.  

Unless there's some lazy teardown you're alluding to that I'm missing?

Sounds good.  I'll update.
