Subject: [PATCH 2/5] userfaultfd: shmem: allocate anonymous memory for MAP_PRIVATE shmem
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 12:34:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181126173452.26955-3-aarcange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181126173452.26955-1-aarcange@redhat.com>

Userfaultfd did not create private memory when UFFDIO_COPY was invoked
on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping. Instead it wrote to the shmem file,
even when that had not been opened for writing. Though, fortunately,
that could only happen where there was a hole in the file.

Fix the shmem-backed implementation of UFFDIO_COPY to create private
memory for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. The hugetlbfs-backed implementation
was already correct.

This change is visible to userland, if userfaultfd has been used in
unintended ways: so it introduces a small risk of incompatibility, but
is necessary in order to respect file permissions.

An app that uses UFFDIO_COPY for anything like postcopy live migration
won't notice the difference, and in fact it'll run faster because
there will be no copy-on-write and memory waste in the tmpfs pagecache
anymore.

Userfaults on MAP_PRIVATE shmem keep triggering only on file holes
like before.

The real zeropage can also be built on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping
through UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and that's safe because the zeropage pte is
never dirty, in turn even an mprotect upgrading the vma permission
from PROT_READ to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE won't make the zeropage pte
writable.
