mm/huge_memory: streamline COW logic in do_huge_pmd_wp_page()
We currently have a different COW logic for anon THP than we have for ordinary anon pages in do_wp_page(): the effect is that the issue reported in CVE-2020-29374 is currently still possible for anon THP: an unintended information leak from the parent to the child. Let's apply the same logic (page_count() == 1), with similar optimizations to remove additional references first as we really want to avoid PTE-mapping the THP and copying individual pages best we can. If we end up with a page that has page_count() != 1, we'll have to PTE-map the THP and fallback to do_wp_page(), which will always copy the page. Note that KSM does not apply to THP. I. Interaction with the swapcache and writeback While a THP is in the swapcache, the swapcache holds one reference on each subpage of the THP. So with PageSwapCache() set, we expect as many additional references as we have subpages. If we manage to remove the THP from the swapcache, all these references will be gone. Usually, a THP is not split when entered into the swapcache and stays a compound page. However, try_to_unmap() will PTE-map the THP and use PTE swap entries. There are no PMD swap entries for that purpose, consequently, we always only swapin subpages into PTEs. Removing a page from the swapcache can fail either when there are remaining swap entries (in which case COW is the right thing to do) or if the page is currently under writeback. Having a locked, R/O PMD-mapped THP that is in the swapcache seems to be possible only in corner cases, for example, if try_to_unmap() failed after adding the page to the swapcache. However, it's comparatively easy to handle. As we have to fully unmap a THP before starting writeback, and swapin is always done on the PTE level, we shouldn't find a R/O PMD-mapped THP in the swapcache that is under writeback. This should at least leave writeback out of the picture. II. Interaction with GUP references Having a R/O PMD-mapped THP with GUP references (i.e., R/O references) will result in PTE-mapping the THP on a write fault. Similar to ordinary anon pages, do_wp_page() will have to copy sub-pages and result in a disconnect between the GUP references and the pages actually mapped into the page tables. To improve the situation in the future, we'll need additional handling to mark anonymous pages as definitely exclusive to a single process, only allow GUP pins on exclusive anon pages, and disallow sharing of exclusive anon pages with GUP pins e.g., during fork(). III. Interaction with references from LRU pagevecs There is no need to try draining the (local) LRU pagevecs in case we would stumble over a !PageLRU() page: folio_add_lru() and friends will always flush the affected pagevec after adding a compound page to it immediately -- pagevec_add_and_need_flush() always returns "true" for them. Note that the LRU pagevecs will hold a reference on the compound page for a very short time, between adding the page to the pagevec and draining it immediately afterwards. IV. Interaction with speculative/temporary references Similar to ordinary anon pages, other speculative/temporary references on the THP, for example, from the pagecache or page migration code, will disallow exclusive reuse of the page. We'll have to PTE-map the THP.
