Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2.
While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last
patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page()
which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages().
The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up
storing the subpages/vmas. Both together bring the cost of slow variant
of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs.
libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs
vmas.
This patch (of 2):
follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages
in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one. Similar to gup-fast,
have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting
all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page.
Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge
page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably:
- 16G with 1G huge page size
gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w

it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,

2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below

These functions accomplish the same thing but have different
implementations.
unpin_user_page() has a bug where it calls mod_node_page_state() after
calling put_page() which creates a risk that the page could have been
hot-uplugged from the system.
Fix this by using put_compound_head() as the only implementation.
__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() and related can be deleted as well in
favour of the simpler, but slower, version in put_compound_head() that has
an extra atomic page_ref_sub, but always calls put_page() which internally
contains the special devmap code.
Move put_compound_head() to be directly after try_grab_compound_head() so
people can find it in future.

Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by
post-processing the VMA list.
These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before
processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is
encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM.
Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many
call sites.
Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged
when DAX is compiled out.
Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

Since commit 70e806e4e6 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.
However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:
CPU 0 CPU 1
get_user_pages_fast()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
copy_page_range()
pte_alloc_map_lock()
copy_present_page()
atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
gup_pgd_range()
gup_pte_range()
pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
pte_access_permitted(pte)
try_grab_compound_head()
pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
set_pte_at();
pte_unmap_unlock()
// GUP now returns with a write protected page
The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")
Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.
Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Patch series "Add a seqcount between gup_fast and copy_page_range()", v4.
As discussed and suggested by Linus use a seqcount to close the small race
between gup_fast and copy_page_range().
Ahmed confirms that raw_write_seqcount_begin() is the correct API to use
in this case and it doesn't trigger any lockdeps.
I was able to test it using two threads, one forking and the other using
ibv_reg_mr() to trigger GUP fast. Modifying copy_page_range() to sleep
made the window large enough to reliably hit to test the logic.
This patch (of 2):
The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more
complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level
of indention. Tidy a bit of cruft:
- addr is always the same as start, so use start
- Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len
- nr_pinned/pages << PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to
avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding
casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast
- The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit
No functional change.

When FOLL_PIN is passed to __get_user_pages() the page list must be put
back using unpin_user_pages() otherwise the page pin reference persists
in a corrupted state.
There are two places in the unwind of __gup_longterm_locked() that put
the pages back without checking. Normally on error this function would
return the partial page list making this the caller's responsibility,
but in these two cases the caller is not allowed to see these pages at
all.

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5.
At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work
around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't
take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like
userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So
at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that
might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs.
With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as
possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across
unbounded sleeps".)
Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core
dumping code.
Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing
the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with
proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This
ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is
consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any
virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their
contents show up in the core dump properly.
The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during
core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs.
At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this
issue (mmget_still_valid()).
I have tested:
- Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works.
- The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible.
- X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at
offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file
mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0.
- NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps
through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because
GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've
poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.)
This patch (of 7):
dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory.
Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS,
even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given
that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if
we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block.
One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use
__get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter
doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will
just call __get_user_pages() for us.

As suggested by Dan Carpenter, fortify unpin_user_pages() just a bit,
against a typical caller mistake: check if the npages arg is really a
-ERRNO value, which would blow up the unpinning loop: WARN and return.
If this new WARN_ON() fires, then the system *might* be leaking pages (by
leaving them pinned), but probably not. More likely, gup/pup returned a
hard -ERRNO error to the caller, who erroneously passed it here.

gup prohibits users from calling get_user_pages() with FOLL_PIN. But it
allows users to call get_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM only. It seems
insensible.
Since FOLL_LONGTERM is a stricter case of FOLL_PIN, we should prohibit
users from calling get_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM while not with
FOLL_PIN.
mm/gup_benchmark.c used to be the only user who did this improperly.
But it has been fixed by moving to use pin_user_pages().

It seems likely this block was pasted from internal_get_user_pages_fast,
which is not passed an mm struct and therefore uses current's. But
__get_user_pages_locked is passed an explicit mm, and current->mm is not

pin_user_pages_remote->
__get_user_pages_remote->

Currently to make sure that every page table entry is read just once
gup_fast walks perform READ_ONCE and pass pXd value down to the next
gup_pXd_range function by value e.g.:
static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
...
pudp = pud_offset(&p4d, addr);
This function passes a reference on that local value copy to pXd_offset,
and might get the very same pointer in return. This happens when the
level is folded (on most arches), and that pointer should not be
iterated.
On s390 due to the fact that each task might have different 5,4 or
3-level address translation and hence different levels folded the logic
is more complex and non-iteratable pointer to a local copy leads to
severe problems.
Here is an example of what happens with gup_fast on s390, for a task
with 3-level paging, crossing a 2 GB pud boundary:
// addr = 0x1007ffff000, end = 0x10080001000
static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
{
unsigned long next;
pud_t *pudp;
// pud_offset returns &p4d itself (a pointer to a value on stack)
pudp = pud_offset(&p4d, addr);
do {
// on second iteratation reading "random" stack value
pud_t pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp);
// next = 0x10080000000, due to PUD_SIZE/MASK != PGDIR_SIZE/MASK on s390
next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
...
} while (pudp++, addr = next, addr != end); // pudp++ iterating over stack
return 1;
}
This happens since s390 moved to common gup code with commit
d1874a0c28 ("s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust") and
commit 1a42010cdc ("s390/mm: convert to the generic
get_user_pages_fast code").
s390 tried to mimic static level folding by changing pXd_offset
primitives to always calculate top level page table offset in pgd_offset
and just return the value passed when pXd_offset has to act as folded.
What is crucial for gup_fast and what has been overlooked is that
PxD_SIZE/MASK and thus pXd_addr_end should also change correspondingly.
And the latter is not possible with dynamic folding.
To fix the issue in addition to pXd values pass original pXdp pointers

Merge emailed patches from Peter Xu:
"This is a small series that I picked up from Linus's suggestion to
simplify cow handling (and also make it more strict) by checking
against page refcounts rather than mapcounts.
This makes uffd-wp work again (verified by running upmapsort)"
Note: this is horrendously bad timing, and making this kind of
fundamental vm change after -rc3 is not at all how things should work.
The saving grace is that it really is a a nice simplification:
8 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 120 deletions(-)
The reason for the bad timing is that it turns out that commit
17839856fd ("gup: document and work around 'COW can break either way'
issue" broke not just UFFD functionality (as Peter noticed), but Mikulas
Patocka also reports that it caused issues for strace when running in a
DAX environment with ext4 on a persistent memory setup.
And we can't just revert that commit without re-introducing the original
issue that is a potential security hole, so making COW stricter (and in
the process much simpler) is a step to then undoing the forced COW that
broke other uses.

With the more strict (but greatly simplified) page reuse logic in
do_wp_page(), we can safely go back to the world where cow is not
enforced with writes.
This essentially reverts commit 17839856fd ("gup: document and work
around 'COW can break either way' issue"). There are some context
differences due to some changes later on around it:

Some lines moved back and forth with those, but this revert patch should
have striped out and covered all the enforced cow bits anyways.

Merge gate page refcount fix from Dave Hansen:
"During the conversion over to pin_user_pages(), gate pages were missed.
The fix is pretty simple, and is accompanied by a new test from Andy
which probably would have caught this earlier"
* emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>:
selftests/x86/test_vsyscall: Improve the process_vm_readv() test
mm: fix pin vs. gup mismatch with gate pages
Gate pages were missed when converting from get to pin_user_pages().
This can lead to refcount imbalances. This is reliably and quickly
reproducible running the x86 selftests when vsyscall=emulate is enabled
(the default). Fix by using try_grab_page() with appropriate flags
passed.
The long story:
Today, pin_user_pages() and get_user_pages() are similar interfaces for
manipulating page reference counts. However, "pins" use a "bias" value
and manipulate the actual reference count by 1024 instead of 1 used by
plain "gets".
That means that pin_user_pages() must be matched with unpin_user_pages()
and can't be mixed with a plain put_user_pages() or put_page().
Enter gate pages, like the vsyscall page. They are pages usually in the
kernel image, but which are mapped to userspace. Userspace is allowed
access to them, including interfaces using get/pin_user_pages(). The
refcount of these kernel pages is manipulated just like a normal user
page on the get/pin side so that the put/unpin side can work the same
for normal user pages or gate pages.
get_gate_page() uses try_get_page() which only bumps the refcount by
1, not 1024, even if called in the pin_user_pages() path. If someone
pins a gate page, this happens:
pin_user_pages()
get_gate_page()
try_get_page() // bump refcount +1
... some time later
unpin_user_pages()
page_ref_sub_and_test(page, 1024))
... and boom, we get a refcount off by 1023. This is reliably and
quickly reproducible running the x86 selftests when booted with
vsyscall=emulate (the default). The selftests use ptrace(), but I
suspect anything using pin_user_pages() on gate pages could hit this.
To fix it, simply use try_grab_page() instead of try_get_page(), and
pass 'gup_flags' in so that FOLL_PIN can be respected.
This bug traces back to the very beginning of the FOLL_PIN support in
commit 3faa52c03f ("mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages"), which showed up in
the 5.7 release.

Here're the last pieces of page fault accounting that were still done
outside handle_mm_fault() where we still have regs==NULL when calling
handle_mm_fault():
arch/powerpc/mm/copro_fault.c: copro_handle_mm_fault
arch/sparc/mm/fault_32.c: force_user_fault
arch/um/kernel/trap.c: handle_page_fault
mm/gup.c: faultin_page
fixup_user_fault
mm/hmm.c: hmm_vma_fault
mm/ksm.c: break_ksm
Some of them has the issue of duplicated accounting for page fault
retries. Some of them didn't do the accounting at all.
This patch cleans all these up by letting handle_mm_fault() to do per-task
page fault accounting even if regs==NULL (though we'll still skip the perf
event accountings). With that, we can safely remove all the outliers now.
There's another functional change in that now we account the page faults
to the caller of gup, rather than the task_struct that passed into the gup
code. More information of this can be found at [1].
After this patch, below things should never be touched again outside
handle_mm_fault():
- task_struct.[maj|min]_flt
- PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.
This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b98270 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/
What this series did:
- Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
(no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault
retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the
perf events.
- Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.
Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults.
Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
fault is resolved successfully.
Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
this perf event.
Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.
- Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1.
- Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
gup. More information on this in patch 25.
Patchset layout:
Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more
This patch (of 25):
This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.
So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

new_non_cma_page() in gup.c requires to allocate the new page that is not
on the CMA area. new_non_cma_page() implements it by using allocation
scope APIs.
However, there is a work-around for hugetlb. Normal hugetlb page
allocation API for migration is alloc_huge_page_nodemask(). It consists
of two steps. First is dequeing from the pool. Second is, if there is no
available page on the queue, allocating by using the page allocator.
new_non_cma_page() can't use this API since first step (deque) isn't aware
of scope API to exclude CMA area. So, new_non_cma_page() exports hugetlb
internal function for the second step, alloc_migrate_huge_page(), to
global scope and uses it directly. This is suboptimal since hugetlb pages
on the queue cannot be utilized.
This patch tries to fix this situation by making the deque function on
hugetlb CMA aware. In the deque function, CMA memory is skipped if
PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA flag is found.

We have well defined scope API to exclude CMA region. Use it rather than
manipulating gfp_mask manually. With this change, we can now restore
__GFP_MOVABLE for gfp_mask like as usual migration target allocation. It
would result in that the ZONE_MOVABLE is also searched by page allocator.
For hugetlb, gfp_mask is redefined since it has a regular allocation mask
filter for migration target. __GPF_NOWARN is added to hugetlb gfp_mask
filter since a new user for gfp_mask filter, gup, want to be silent when
allocation fails.
Note that this can be considered as a fix for the commit 9a4e9f3b2d
("mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA
region"). However, "Fixes" tag isn't added here since it is just
suboptimal but it doesn't cause any problem.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.
The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

All of the pin_user_pages*() API calls will cause pages to be
dma-pinned. As such, they are all suitable for either DMA, RDMA, and/or
Direct IO.
The documentation should say so, but it was instead saying that three of
the API calls were only suitable for Direct IO. This was discovered
when a reviewer wondered why an API call that specifically recommended
against Case 2 (DMA/RDMA) was being used in a DMA situation [1].
Fix this by simply deleting those claims. The gup.c comments already
refer to the more extensive Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst,
which does have the correct guidance. So let's just write it once,
there.

Patch series "mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), use it in frame_vector.c", v2.
This adds yet one more pin_user_pages*() variant, and uses that to
convert mm/frame_vector.c.
With this, along with maybe 20 or 30 other recent patches in various
trees, we are close to having the relevant gup call sites
converted--with the notable exception of the bio/block layer.
This patch (of 2):
Introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), which is nearly identical to
get_user_pages_locked() except that it sets FOLL_PIN and rejects
FOLL_GET.
As with other pairs of get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages() API calls,
it's prudent to assert that FOLL_PIN is *not* set in the
get_user_pages*() call, so add that as part of this.

API __get_user_pages_fast() renamed to get_user_pages_fast_only() to
align with pin_user_pages_fast_only().
As part of this we will get rid of write parameter. Instead caller will
pass FOLL_WRITE to get_user_pages_fast_only(). This will not change any
existing functionality of the API.
All the callers are changed to pass FOLL_WRITE.
Also introduce get_user_page_fast_only(), and use it in a few places
that hard-code nr_pages to 1.

ba841078cd ("mm/mempolicy: Allow lookup_node() to handle fatal signal")
has added a special casing for 0 return value because that was a possible
gup return value when interrupted by fatal signal. This has been fixed by
ae46d2aa6a ("mm/gup: Let __get_user_pages_locked() return -EINTR for
fatal signal") in the mean time so ba841078cd can be reverted.
This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check
for 0 is wrong and confusing here. Firstly it is inherently unsafe to
access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page
returned).
Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not
return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not
the case here. Document this potential error code in gup code while we
are at it.

There were two nearly identical sets of code for gup_fast() style of
walking the page tables with interrupts disabled. This has lead to the
usual maintenance problems that arise from having duplicated code.
There is already a core internal routine in gup.c for gup_fast(), so just
enhance it very slightly: allow skipping the fall-back to "slow" (regular)
get_user_pages(), via the new FOLL_FAST_ONLY flag. Then, just call
internal_get_user_pages_fast() from __get_user_pages_fast(), and adjust
the API to match pre-existing API behavior.
There is a change in behavior from this refactoring: the nested form of
interrupt disabling is used in all gup_fast() variants now. That's
because there is only one place that interrupt disabling for page walking
is done, and so the safer form is required. This should, if anything,
eliminate possible (rare) bugs, because the non-nested form of enabling
interrupts was fragile at best.

Patch series "mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()", v2.
In order to convert the drm/i915 driver from get_user_pages() to
pin_user_pages(), a FOLL_PIN equivalent of __get_user_pages_fast() was
required. That led to refactoring __get_user_pages_fast(), with the
following goals:
1) As above: provide a pin_user_pages*() routine for drm/i915 to call,
in place of __get_user_pages_fast(),
2) Get rid of the gup.c duplicate code for walking page tables with
interrupts disabled. This duplicate code is a minor maintenance
problem anyway.
3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to
convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead
of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can
ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus
is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to
match the new pin_user_pages_only().
This patch (of 4):
This is in order to avoid a forward declaration of
internal_get_user_pages_fast(), in the next patch.
This is code movement only--all generated code should be identical.

Doing a "get_user_pages()" on a copy-on-write page for reading can be
ambiguous: the page can be COW'ed at any time afterwards, and the
direction of a COW event isn't defined.
Yes, whoever writes to it will generally do the COW, but if the thread
that did the get_user_pages() unmapped the page before the write (and
that could happen due to memory pressure in addition to any outright
action), the writer could also just take over the old page instead.
End result: the get_user_pages() call might result in a page pointer
that is no longer associated with the original VM, and is associated
with - and controlled by - another VM having taken it over instead.
So when doing a get_user_pages() on a COW mapping, the only really safe
thing to do would be to break the COW when getting the page, even when
only getting it for reading.
At the same time, some users simply don't even care.
For example, the perf code wants to look up the page not because it
cares about the page, but because the code simply wants to look up the
physical address of the access for informational purposes, and doesn't
really care about races when a page might be unmapped and remapped
elsewhere.
This adds logic to force a COW event by setting FOLL_WRITE on any
copy-on-write mapping when FOLL_GET (or FOLL_PIN) is used to get a page
pointer as a result.
The current semantics end up being:
- __get_user_pages_fast(): no change. If you don't ask for a write,
you won't break COW. You'd better know what you're doing.
- get_user_pages_fast(): the fast-case "look it up in the page tables
without anything getting mmap_sem" now refuses to follow a read-only
page, since it might need COW breaking. Which happens in the slow
path - the fast path doesn't know if the memory might be COW or not.
- get_user_pages() (including the slow-path fallback for gup_fast()):
for a COW mapping, turn on FOLL_WRITE for FOLL_GET/FOLL_PIN, with
very similar semantics to FOLL_FORCE.
If it turns out that we want finer granularity (ie "only break COW when
it might actually matter" - things like the zero page are special and
don't need to be broken) we might need to push these semantics deeper
into the lookup fault path. So if people care enough, it's possible
that we might end up adding a new internal FOLL_BREAK_COW flag to go
with the internal FOLL_COW flag we already have for tracking "I had a
COW".
Alternatively, if it turns out that different callers might want to
explicitly control the forced COW break behavior, we might even want to
make such a flag visible to the users of get_user_pages() instead of
using the above default semantics.
But for now, this is mostly commentary on the issue (this commit message
being a lot bigger than the patch, and that patch in turn is almost all
comments), with that minimal "enable COW breaking early" logic using the
existing FOLL_WRITE behavior.
[ It might be worth noting that we've always had this ambiguity, and it
could arguably be seen as a user-space issue.
You only get private COW mappings that could break either way in
situations where user space is doing cooperative things (ie fork()
before an execve() etc), but it _is_ surprising and very subtle, and
fork() is supposed to give you independent address spaces.
So let's treat this as a kernel issue and make the semantics of
get_user_pages() easier to understand. Note that obviously a true
shared mapping will still get a page that can change under us, so this
does _not_ mean that get_user_pages() somehow returns any "stable"
